Out of the Blue follows the poignant and inspiring journey of 18-year-old Sienna, a fiercely ambitious young artist on the cusp of her freshman year at a prestigious art school. But just weeks before classes begin, her world is upended by a life-altering diagnosis: she’s losing her eyesight to a rare, aggressive genetic condition. Her lifelong dream of becoming a world-renowned painter suddenly seems impossibly out of reach. Refusing to surrender to despair, Sienna dives headfirst into college life, determined to chase her passion for art before the darkness closes in. With the support of her two fiercely loyal best friends, Rory and Jade, and a professor who sees beyond her diagnosis, Sienna stumbles through a chaotic and deeply emotional first year. From accidentally setting a student’s project on fire, to being roped into an underground, high-stakes sketch-off, to baring her soul in group therapy—and facing felony charges for an unauthorized mural on the university library—Sienna’s path is anything but smooth. Through every triumph and setback, she fights to reclaim her voice, her vision, and her future. As her sight dims, her spirit sharpens—and with her art as both weapon and refuge, Sienna discovers a new way of seeing the world.
