   Summary

   Formerly titled "Reclining Nude".

   A repressed Belle runs from home to pursue a life of freedom in a new city. To support herself, she turns to modeling for local eccentric painter Ross Gold. Known as the Town Pornographer, Gold's avant-garde work and lifestyle exposes her to the very ideas her father sought to guard her from.

   Lot of Golden Hearts early on, but Rumbelle is the endgame.
