A graphic novel, but also like a graphic poem, this is a book in two acts, with interspersed dreams of the main character Ginger. It turns its focus cinematically on the darkly comic relationship developing between Ginger, a painter, and Billy, an aspiring writer, after Ginger is dumped by Billy's best friend.

This is a winsome and jaunty artist tale, humorous, poetic and symbolic.
