New York, 1922. The depression hadn't quite yet started to loom its ugly head over the horizon, and yet America partied as if they knew what was coming. For her 26th birthday, Mae Bowman's cousin brings her to one of the most widely recognized parties in New York City. What was meant to turn into nothing more than a night of intoxication and flattering flapper dresses, quickly becomes filled with a mysterious man no one believed they'd ever meet. Mae's plans of lying low during her time in New York are very quickly flushed down the drain after catching the attention of a reclusive young man who knows how to throw a party. - A spinoff of F.
