The opera audience is captivated by the spectacle before them. Cin as Carmen is being conducted by Kyle, a handsome, young, volatile genius. He only has eyes for her, but Cin isn’t interested.

Unbeknownst to Cin, she has been lured into the tragedy and comedy that is opera. She has attracted unwanted attention and is attacked and left for dead. After this traumatic event, she slips away from herself. Cin now depends on a protective inner personality, Bella, a diva who brings with her risky behavior. Cin is so changed that her family no longer recognizes the person she has become. Harry, however, refuses to give up on her.
