Rescued from childhood flames by Derek, an immortal sovereign cursed to outlive mortal companions, Evelyn grows up under his protective guardianship. When she confesses her heartfelt affection upon adulthood, Derek panics over his terrifying curse and spurns her, betrothing her venomous aunt Yvette who subsequently has Evelyn committed to a psychiatric ward.
Broken by institutional abuse and memory loss, Evelyn survives only when Derek discovers Yvette's monstrous deceit and sacrifices his eternal youth to restore her. Years later, Evelyn emerges as a celebrated fashion designer, spotting her blind, mortal former protector sitting quietly in the shadows of her triumphant runway debut.
