Love can take you to the darkest places… Leela is a gifted mathematician who has escaped her small Southern town to study in Boston. From the first moment she hears Mishka, a young Australian musician, playing his violin in a subway, his music grips her, and they quickly become lovers. But Mishka is not all he seems — and the world around them is nothing like Leela thought it was. In this compelling re-imagining of the Orpheus story, Leela travels to an underworld of kidnapping, torture and despair in search of the truth — and the man she loves.
