Its mythology meets Keeping Up with the Kardashians in this modern retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth.

College freshman Psyche Karalis longs to be an average girl when her life seems anything but. The youngest daughter of the owner of a multibillion dollar electronics empire, she has grown up in a life of luxury, riches, and getting everything she could ever desire handed to her without hesitation. But this is not the life she craves. To be ordinary, to be just another face in the crowd, is her biggest dream.

When her two oldest sisters agree to become part of a reality show about their lives, things seem to come to a head for Psyche. So when a mysterious stranger offers her a chance to hide from the world, she accepts it without hesitation to remove herself from her less-than-perfect for her home life. But she quickly discovers that the offer comes with a price, a revealing of herself that she never thought possible. Could she really truly be anything but ordinary?
