Eleanor Montgomery knows survival as control: every line kept exact, every calorie counted, and not a step missed.
Ballet keeps rewarding her discipline even while she hides an eating disorder beneath that perfection.
A new position at Hollingford Ballet Company offers a fresh start, but as the pressure rises, the control she depends on begins to fracture, and failure could cost her everything she has sacrificed.
Nikolai Kozlov, a ballet coach shaped by loss and a faith worn thin by grief, recognizes the danger in her relentless drive.
Involving himself would mean facing wounds he has avoided for years, though standing back could mean losing her.
As her control slips and guarded truths surface, Eleanor and Nikolai face a faith tested by destructive discipline and by the fear of watching her fall, along with the open question of whether worth is found in God rather than perfection.
