Drawing on the Dark Side of the Brain

<p>There's a dark side to Jett's artistic talent. People who look at his drawings and paintings connect on a primal level. People-even his models-are somehow changed by the paint he wields: sometimes permanently sometimes terminally. As this digital native struggles against what he sees as a hopeless world against financial hardship against harsh instructors and against his own libido he attracts a small group of women who adhere as much to each other as to Jett. They face college committed to each other and willing to explore what the new experience can offer. They gain friends and lose lovers struggle to make ends meet and find out more about each other than they imagined. But when it's all said and done are any of them better off than they'd been a year before?</p>
