It turns out her parents had not just hidden her true identity for her, but also that she's a Mystic Healing Artist. With social gender roles against him and his father despising him, Valentine's abandoned, thrown into a world alone where he has to fight against stereotype and prejudice in society. Only a bitter, anorexic girl and her eccentric father might be able to give him hope and strength to fight for a new purpose in life. Valentine finds himself questioning gender and realizing that life must be lived fighting to break social gender stereotypes.
