Angel Adamson, a promising quarterback whose career was cut short after a serious injury,
moves to New York City to live with his eccentric uncle, a famous artist. After landing a job at 'Believe, ' a restaurant in Brooklyn, he falls in with the wrong crowd, and one night while standing outside of Tompkins Square Park, he witnesses a murder. In a quest to start afresh, far away from trouble, Angel moves to London, England, and enrols at College. He befriends Baptiste and Inès, but it is the impressionable Prof. Luiz who convinces Angel to join him on the Brexit trail as a speechwriter. Several years pass, and Angel rekindles his relationship with Inès, but when he accepts an invitation to visit Paris from one of Inès' friends, an unexpected relationship blossoms. However, this isn't enough to help Angel fight his long-haunting demons and the guilt and trauma he has been harboring for too long, leads Angel to commit suicide. Back in NYC, Tony, a sports hack learns of Angel's story and decides to write a semi-fictional novel. But reliving Angel's life proves an uneasy task. Suddenly, art and reality become hopelessly entwined.
