Veronica is fresh out of medical school. It's a crucial time in her life, a period filled with doubts and important decisions to be made: tough career choices, her intimate bond with her ailing father, and her active but chaotic love life. Veronica must deal with all of them as she tries to cope with the adult life that lies ahead.
Once Upon a Time Veronica is a fairy-tale in reverse. There are no fairy godmothers, no weddings, and no dreams. Veronica's story reveals itself through adventures, misfortunes, desires and songs.
