Madder Blue

She's a talented photographer desperate for a miracle.
And he is delivered to her—with a vengeance.

Madder Blue is about Nikki St. James, a beautiful young photographer whose photos—capturing the often violent life of the city—are as arresting as they are unique. Driven by ambition, she risks the danger of the streets, secretly posting her photos in the dead of night.

Yet even the darkest corners of Hollywood could not have prepared her for the charismatic Tony D'Angelo. This enigma of a man catches her taking his picture, tracks her down, and introduces Nikki first-hand to a world that, until now, she's only seen on the other side of the lens.

Of course, Tony isn't the only one who notices Nikki's work, and soon her photos are scheduled for a major exhibit at a high-profile gallery. Thrust into yet another foreign environment, it doesn't take Nikki long to discover that the sophisticated world of high art
can be just as cruel and unforgiving as the streets.

The two worlds collide when Nikki unwittingly photographs a
deadly secret and makes it the centerpiece of her very
public premiere. Its discovery sparks accusations of
deception and betrayal, and ultimately leads to a
tense and bloody stand-off—where the violence
she's been stalking explodes out of her art
and into her life.
