Summary:
How many rooms to reach the bottom of this place, step by hallowed step to the innermost chamber, to infiltrate the heart where it was caged? Being in a stranger's home always filled Ada with the same desire. Not for the things themselves, but for a space as grand and as wide as this, somewhere permanent to live that wasn’t an isolated cabin or a hotel room in the city. She wanted to relish this house, to learn its floor plan like a language, to find the perfect opening.
Or: The world is a screen and desire is a dreamscape history of ghosts. An encounter at a celebrity mansion party in the Hollywood Hills brings Ada and Leon back together to contend with old silences, driving their relationship headlong toward an inevitable eruption.
