Summary
In a world mostly seen in grey, colour is a rare, extraordinary gift - reserved for those who have met their true soulmate. There’s nothing one can do but listen to voices anywhere, hoping against all odds to recognise the one that will bring the colour to their life, whatever that might mean.
Louis has never seen a rainbow, nor knowingly met anyone who has. At thirty-one, he comfortably moves through life in shades of grey, never questioning what he might be missing. Soulmates? Pop culture flirts with the trope, but it feels as distant as time travel, vampires, or superheroes - more fantasy than expectation. Still, every now and then, a glimpse of art or a vivid description in a book sparks a longing for something beyond his monochrome world.
Then a new technology arrives, and while it proves a game changer for many seeking their one-in-a-lifetime relationship, it gradually turns Louis’ world upside down in ways he could never have anticipated.
