Run away and join the circus of the 1930's and get lost in the story of a young woman who searches for her soul and for the one man who truly knows her heart. Sepia, a young trapeze artist, performs amazing feats in the air, but is like a frightened bird on the ground. When she and her abusive father join a new show, she meets Anastasia, the Queen of Circus, and her son, Cole, a handsome but reckless gigolo. As Cole triggers Sepia's desire for love, the triple back somersault on the flying trapeze becomes her path to stardom and independence. But a terrible accident and the discovery of a dark past thrust her from the only life she has ever known into the gangster underworld of Chicago. Only instinct and strength can save her as she chooses people, both good and evil, who can aid her road to redemption.
