Waterspout - Troy Ford

A struggling painter. Reckless desires. One last chance.

Struggling painter Jimmy Traywick is running out of options.

Job, apartment, boyfriend, and gallery in San Francisco-gone. Retreating to a quiet town across the Bay, he's hoping for a fresh start when a charismatic insider offers a shot at the New York art world.

Desperate to seize the opportunity, he begins painting the new lovers and friends who have pulled him into their orbit, transforming passion and chaos into a raw new body of work.

But when secrets surface and relationships fracture, he discovers too late that inspiration can come at a devastating price.

As Jimmy embarks on a precarious odyssey, he'll learn that-

- Ambition demands more than talent

- Intimacy blurs the line between love and exploitation

- Resentment poisons everything it touches

Because some storms don't pass.

Some storms drag you under.
