Our Fifth Season: ...where murder derails love...

Cross-cultural love, super-stardom, and murder collide in Our Fifth Season. Screen star Adam Ahn is known throughout Asia as Korea's Perfect Gentleman until his arrest for murdering a highly respected female actor. The media paint him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has severed all ties with Joanne, the North-American woman he loves, abandoning his dream of a normal life with her and her son, away from the pressures of fame. The caring man Joanne met a year ago at Cornell University may very well live up to all the megastar stereotypes her sister warned her about. Or not. She knows only what surfaces online. Adam's trial looms, and irrefutable proof of his guilt continues to baffle his legal team.
