Joan’s grit and determination have helped her climb out of a dysfunctional family life and reinvent herself as a successful NYC artist. Surrounded by admirers and celebrated at art openings, she’s floating on cloud nine until secrets from her past start to pull her down. She runs from the ghosts but can’t escape.
