Description
Beryl Gore's life is defined by the Palace Theater, where she spends her nights performing for an audience of drunken louts. By day, she works behind the scenes, maintaining the artificial wave machine that entraps her in its rhythm. Her own stories, full of pirates and damsels, bring a sense of purpose to her humdrum existence. As Beryl enters adulthood, the theater's fortunes begin to decline. The once-thriving Palace is now shabby and empty, struggling to compete with newer spectacles. With her theatrical world in trouble, Beryl must find a way to save it - or risk losing everything she holds dear. In this poignant tale of perseverance, one young woman must confront the reality of her fading dreams and find a new path forward.
