Sunset
Sixteen-year-old Cassandra Margolis sees the world best when it’s framed in her camera lens. She dreams of art school and a future she can capture and control—but her uneasy premonitions say otherwise.
When her friends drag her to Pandora’s Box, the legendary teen nightclub pulsing at the heart of the mid-1960s Sunset Strip, Cass feels the pull of something she can’t name. Night after night, despite curfews and warnings, they return to the neon-lit refuge where music drowns out doubt and the world feels briefly, brilliantly theirs.
But when a new curfew erupts into protest and Cass photographs the explosive clash between teens and police, she’s forced to confront more than the truth in her viewfinder. The crackdown jolts her from the sidelines, pushing her to choose who she wants to be—and what she’s willing to stand up for.
A vivid reimagining of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, this coming-of-age tale blends rebellion, art, and the magic of a generation determined to be heard.
