? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Story of rekindling friendship over time in Goldenseal. Lacey and Edith, now both in their seventies, reunite after 44 years of no contact. The story starts off with Edith's return to Los Angeles after several decades, rediscovering the charm of the city leading her to an old luxury hotel nestled in downtown LA.

Within the confines of the hotel is Lacey, once the daughter of its proprietor and now a reclusive resident, who becomes shocked by Edith’s return, bubbling up dormant tensions and unresolved emotions.

While we get insights into Lacey's innermost thoughts, Edith's perspective is shrouded in secrecy. At the heart of their conflict is Cal, Lacey's late husband, whose presence looms large over their shared history. We slowly piece together Lacey's enigmatic past, including her upbringing in Prague, her family's immigration to New York, the pivotal moment when her and Edith’s paths first crossed at a summer camp, and the mystery of what ruptured their close friendship.
