Lily is a girl stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, she doesn’t feel safe returning home to her bigoted parents. On the other, staying inside her dorms will almost ensure months of crippling social isolation as the world locks down in the face of the pandemic. She chooses to stay. Flash forward several months. Lily’s online girlfriend decides to check up on her despite the lockdown and the distance between the two of them. Lily is dismissive, as even if the professional photographer could pull the strings needed to visit her and break lockdown, it could still be days, if not weeks, worth of driving. When a photo of her dorm is sent to her private messages in a matter of hours, questions and worries begin to emerge. Who, or what, is her girlfriend “Alabaster,” and would she even accept Lily for who she is?

While there, she meets a vampire named Vinnie, and the two hit it off despite their differences. Can Eva make her first non-human friend, or will her myriad of issues and the lack of control over her powers get the best of her?
