Synopsis

Nora Fischer's dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend is about to marry another woman. During a miserable weekend at a friend's wedding, Nora wanders off, walks through a portal, and is transformed from a drab grad student into a stunning beauty. Before long, she has a set of glamorous friends and a romance heating up with gorgeous, masterful Raclin. Then the elegant veneer shatters. Nora's new world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredibly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never learned in graduate school.
