Everyone has a story, but Juliet Grace doesn't know hers until she's nineteen. Her story begins when her father dies. When he says an unfamiliar female name before he dies. When a woman calls and cries into the phone, calling his name, which he will never hear. When the police show up at the door and ask about Juliet's past, and she has nothing to say. Juliet dreamed of dancing on stage, but at the insistence of her stepmother, she was bored at secretarial courses. Juliet made up an amazing biography for herself, but obediently lived under the control of indifferent adults. And now she is free to live as she wants and, vaguely guessing the beginning of a new plot, sets off in search of herself, her roots and the truth about her mother's death. And so she ends up in London's Theater District.
In the London we know, the Theater District never existed. The Theater District is a kingdom of illusions, an otherworldly world of wondrous stories beyond reality. Here, for centuries, day and night, the Show goes on without stopping, and there is nothing more important in the world. The director and the actors are almost gods: they belong to ancient families that have been nourishing high art with their blood, flesh, and thoughts for centuries. Enchanted viewers flock to the Theater District and stay, unable to take their eyes off the magic.
The magic shines brightly, but on the inside there is darkness. The outside world has no power over the District, not even the police can enter here. There is only one law here: The Show must go on. The Theater District is smoke and mirrors, and Juliet is about to find out to what lengths people are capable of going so that some stories are never told - and who pays for it with their lives.
