Victoria Lee makes her adult debut with "A Shot in the Dark," a New York City love story between two queer artists struggling to face down their past to create a future with one another. Bisexual photographer Ely Cohen hasn't been to New York in 10 years, but pursuing her dream has brought her back to the place she used to call home. To stave off her first-day jitters before meeting renowned artist Wyatt Cole, Ely hits up a bar and has a one-night stand with a stranger. Only in class the next day does she learn that the stranger is Wyatt himself, and he can't deny their attraction either. Wyatt is still grappling with his fallout with his family following his coming out as trans, and moving forward with Ely threatens to open on fresh wounds. Between their physical attraction, artistic connection, and genuine understanding of each other, Ely and Wyatt have a chance at love, but are they ready to take it?
