Rejection? Just another plot twist! An aspiring artist charges into the comic world, ready to ink her own success story.

SYNOPSIS:

KT Hailstones is a talented artist with a burning passion for the comic book industry. When she's offered a job in another city, she jumps at the opportunity to pursue her dreams, despite her insecurities. Her best friend Julie helps her find a place to stay, but the new neighborhood seems shady and unsafe, making KT nervous.

As she settles into her new apartment with Julie and their quirky roommates Cassandra and Liz, KT accidentally befriends their neighbor Cassar, who always has fresh fruit. Slowly, she begins to realize that her initial impressions of the neighborhood were wrong.

However, her first day at the Wise Tortoise Comics is a brutal wake-up call. KT's lack of confidence is reinforced by the cynical attitudes of her male colleagues, who mock her and other female artists. When the chief executive demands that they pitch ideas for female-oriented series, KT is paired with Marcellus, a kind-hearted colleague who helps her see the potential of her ideas.

Despite her doubts and the constant rejections she's faced, KT learns to believe in herself and her abilities. She discovers that the industry needs her unique perspective and fresh ideas, and that she has the power to be the change that the comic book world desperately needs.

With her newfound confidence and the support of her friends, KT rises to the challenge and unleashes her creativity, creating a powerful new wave of female-oriented comics that captivate the industry and inspire a generation of artists.
