Lake Effect

By Nicole Tone

Lake Effect is a raw exploration of human emotion and what it takes to save your own life.

After the death of her fiance, Sophie Daniels is struggling to keep herself together. Painting is the only way she's able to clear her head and stay grounded. For her art isn't a hobby—it's her religion.

With a semester away from finishing graduate school, she knows that, despite her loss, things are going to get better. In fact, her thesis advisor has even taken a special interest in her. Sophie's convinced that she's found the mentor that she's been looking for. When he shows he's interested in her in more than just a student/teacher way, she obliges him. Until his wife leaves him.

Sophie learns the hard way what happens when a man cannot take responsibility for his own actions.

Now she's back to square one in pulling herself back together.

She hasn't just lost her fiancé anymore: she's lost parts of herself she's not sure she'll ever get back.

Like her ability to create.
