Lily is a young acting student who works thirty hours a week to pay for tuition. One late night a young artist comes in minutes before closing time. This young artist is named Iris. It is here where the love story begins. Lily takes an interest in the sketch Iris has in front of him. Iris explains to Lily that he is working on his master piece the Monomyth. A series of paintings telling the story of Hero and his battle. Iris has a secret that he does not want to reveal to Lily though. Iris cannot paint sober, he feels that he must be under the influence of heroin to paint well. Iris is faced with the challenge of finishing his master piece sober for the sake of Lily. Love is a powerful emotion, but drugs and addiction may be just powerful enough to take everything Iris has.
