Nina, a world-renowned origami artist, is stuck. That is, until she
opens her studio to an eccentric high school teacher, Andy, and his
teenage student Suresh, an origami prodigy. These three intriguingly
flawed characters begin to reshape and mould each other's lives in
much the same way they fold and crease their origami art. Written by
