For two decades, reclusive prodigy Frank Holliday has hidden inside apartment 23B, living on delivered meals and memories. Outside, neighbors whisper about the young reader who ended her life with Frank's debut clutched to her chest. Inside, Frank catalogues pencils, chats with cats no one else can see, and waits for a phantom hint of jasmine that whispers the same name again and again: Florence Cook.

Charlie has spent years inside a prison that swears it is a theater. One moment he is shackled in a concrete cell; the next, spotlights flare and a director's voice orders him to dance. That director, Robert Cooper, is also the father who never met Charlie's eyes when he was a child, and whose approval still glints just out of reach. Onstage beside Charlie stands Drew Fontaine, a flawless double who shares his face, his age, even his laugh—yet Drew glides through every routine while Charlie stumbles in the shadows.
