Marshall's daughter Hailie volunteers at a community arts center as part of a school project. One day, she brings home a copy of a zine made by the teens - raw poetry and short stories. Curious, Marshall flips through it and is unexpectedly moved by the writing. He notices the editor's name: Kate Caldwell.
Later, when Hailie invites him to a small event at the center, he meets Kate in person. She recognizes him, but doesn't fan over him - in fact, she's blunt and unimpressed by celebrity. Her disinterest is disarming, and it draws him in.
They begin a slow friendship. Kate, still dealing with the fallout from her own past, is wary of trust. Marshall sees a kindred spirit in her - someone who knows pain, reinvention, and how words can both heal and destroy.
Is there any chance for them?
