"When Elaina LaPointe is given the lead role in Hannibal after the prima donna walks out, she thinks things couldn't be more perfect! Unfortunately for her, she was not the one meant for the role and the infamous Opera Ghost intends to make sure she knows that. During rehearsal the following day, Elaina 'accidentally' gets injured and cannot perform. Much to her dismay, the young soprano Christine gets the role in her place.
Furious at having to give up her dream possibly forever, Elaina goes to search for the Phantom only to find herself kidnapped by the very person she had been searching for. Hoping to appease his good side so he will release her, she attempts to befriend him and soon learns his real name: Erik. 

During the performance of Il Muto, Elaina convinces the Phantom to allow her to go with him. However, instead of being able to escape, the night takes a very dark turn neither of them had forseen.
Elaina spends more time in Erik's presence and soon comes to realize that he is nothing like the stories she has heard. Erik is gentle with her, understanding, and she comes to actually enjoy being with him. Erik knows that he could only ever love Christine, but it seems to get harder and harder to remember that the longer she stays with him. It could be possible that these two unlikely souls end up falling for each other."
