But within the steady stream of great press and even better parties, Cedric can't shake the sense that something is very wrong. He wants to hate Terra for her overnight success, but he's taken by her earnest love of art.As the artists around them crash and burn, and Cedric struggles to break free from the toxic seduction of Mr. Black, Terra is only concerned with her strange and compelling paintings. She seems to want nothing of the fame, the money, the sex or the drugs. As greed exposes the true colors of the associates, and Terra is too lost in her art to notice the danger, Cedric discovers that inspiration is a living thing, and it is hungry.
