A charmed amber pendant masks Claudine Dwyer’s hideousness and grants her immortality, but at a cost. In Paris during the early 1930s, Claudine’s search for true love is unsuccessful, and if she does not find it before her century is up, she will be cursed for the remainder of her exceptionally long life. Failure after failure, Claudine decides to start her life over and finds success as a Hollywood starlet in the USA.
When she arrives in California, Claudine meets and tries her luck with a few more men, but much to her dismay, achieves no success at finding her true love. It’s not until she nears her hundredth year that she meets Emma, the daughter of a new beau who is half her age, and the girl is the turning piece in Claudine’s mind: Physical beauty is not the most important thing in the world. With that realization, she also discovers that Emma is the key to breaking the curse. After Emma performs a selfless act that leaves her damaged beyond repair, Claudine has to decide what is more important: her own beauty, or the girl’s life.
