While they were courting, Orval told Vera she had the world's prettiest set of teeth. Over the years, however, this compliment has evolved into something sinister; an obsession that leaves Vera with a terrible choice. "Like Rapture" is the story of one woman's marriage and her battle against the decay that threatens to destroy her.
