This book is part graphic novel, part scrapbook and part photo essay. Gloria is a piano prodigy touring the world and playing sold out shows. Francisco is the boy next door who she falls in love with. They IM each other late into the night sending YouTube links back and fourth (the links are actual videos on YouTube). As life starts to catch up with her, Gloria becomes obsessed with playing "Chopsticks" and only that on the piano. She soon enters a facility to rest and one night disappears. Where has she gone and will she find Francisco?
