When a bestselling celebrity biographer is no longer able to get published because she has fallen out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception.

Unlucky-in-love martial artist Juniper has hit rock bottom. She's working at her ex girlfriend's MMA studio by day and crashing on her couch by night. Needing something to call her own, Juniper steps into a local thrift store and buys a painting. What was a spur-of-the-moment purchase turns into a life-changing adventure when two masked thieves try to steal the painting. She surprises herself and the would-be thieves when she fights back and escapes. When forced to fight the ultimate battle for the painting, she realizes the true value lies not in the beauty of the painting or the allure of a new lover but in the strength of her own self-worth.
