In hot pursuit of the “glamorous life”, Giselle a 24 year-old virgin has no intentions of pits stops like love or babies. However, her plans become unraveled when she becomes captivated by former Navy officer and 2nd year grad student John Anderson. Possessing all the qualities she desires in a man, Giselle falls deeply in love with John, which leads to an emotionally charged relationship. Through a tapestry of joy and pain, Gee’s self-image is inevitably shattered when she uncovers a life-threatening secret John withholds from her. Through syncopated emotions and moral dilemmas, the core fabric of Giselle is splintered as she attempts to meander through life’s labyrinth and her rite-of-passage into womanhood.
