When she uncovers a long-hidden secret about Iris's family in the underbelly of the theater--a story of heaving passion and loss, and the secret birth of a child--the Ball becomes even more irresistible, promising Moana and Iris answers rooted in excitement and pleasure, and offering them a chance to belong to the grandest gala of them all.
