Ambitious young journalist Violet Maris secures a coveted residency at a prestigious artists'and writers'colony in 1980s Provincetown, armed with a file of stories written by a dear, older gay friend. Her intention: to write a captivating exposé based on these narratives. However, Violet's promising start at the colony takes a dark turn when tragedy strikes— her friend, the true author of the stories, succumbs to AIDS. This loss plunges Violet into turmoil, compounded by the weight of the terrible secret she carries. Compelled to confess, she confides in a member of the colony's board with whom she has become romantically involved. The revelation of her deception leads to Violet's expulsion from the program, leaving her grappling with disgrace and searching for a path toward redemption and reconciliation— with herself and those she has inadvertently hurt.
