Kate Disney lives a quiet life as a painter in a garage that doubles as her studio behind her friend’s London town house. Her clients are usually the rich and famous with a precious pup that must be immortalized in oils. Occasionally, when the whim suits him, her ex-boyfriend Jake (who is the reason she is living in a garage in the first place) sweeps into her life and leaves a disastrous mess everywhere he goes. Kate puts up with him because it’s quite convenient and really life isn’t so bad with a job she doesn’t hate, a part-time boyfriend and a slightly cramped flat/studio.

Then, when reclusive screen legend Mirabell Moncur enters Kate’s world, everything changes. Mirri, once “the most beautiful girl in the world,” an actress, and goddess of her time, is sixty years old now, still ravishingly beautiful, and living in Africa where she rather exotically raises lions. Few people have seen or heard from her in years when she bursts into Kate’s studio with Bebe—her favorite lion cub and demands a portrait. For quiet, mousey Kate Disney, Mirri is a wild influence Kate's not sure she needs until her advice on embracing the goddess within helps Kate attract her true love. And for spontaneous Mirri who has her secrets, Kate provides the steadiness she needs to recognize the love that's been there all along.
