Ivy and the Poison

Ivy moves to New York and immediately falls for her hot roommate, Ryan—who neglects to mention he has a girlfriend. Then she meets Luke, her best friend at an elite NYC artist residency, and finds herself in a love triangle between the guy she wants to fuck and the guy who seems to understand her completely. Eventually she chooses Luke, and their friendship explodes into an all-consuming romance. They’re twin flames—the same soul split between two bodies. They share a brain, stay up until 3 a.m. every night, and disappear into an abandoned tunnel they call their Cave. Months later, the relationship has imploded, Luke has a new girlfriend, and Ivy has spent a month in isolation writing twelve songs about what happened. Now she’s performing them at the residency showcase—with Luke, his girlfriend, Ryan, Ryan’s girlfriend, and everyone who watched the whole mess unfold sitting in the audience. An emo-punk rock opera about a woman who mistakes being mirrored for being seen.
