Frozen Butterflies

Susan Blanc teaches psychology at a university in Los Angeles. She lives alone and suffers from insomnia. One night, at a nightclub, she meets Nick, a blogger who seemed to be “consumed by something, someone, or himself.” When they meet again the next day, Nick takes her to his apartment, and while browsing through Nick’s books looking for ideas for a story to post on Nick’s blog, Susan finds a “consumed notebook with a light blue cover.” Nick explains that it’s a journal someone lost on a bus, and that the writing and drawings made him want to keep it and try to return it to its owner. The journal’s author is a graphic novelist, Andrew, and that’s all he knows about him. After leafing through the journal’s pages, Susan convinces Nick to post excerpts of the journal on Nick’s blog. Maybe the readers could help them find the artist. As they read and write, search and explore, Nick and Susan's stories melt with the Andrew’s story, in a cocktail of passion, sex, lies, and self-discovery.
