Lifeline /ˈlaɪf.laɪn/ noun 1. A thing on which someone or something depends or which provides a means of escape from a difficult situation. Sixteen year old Leila Monroe never planned to be anyone's burden. But when life took everything - her mother, her home, her safety - she learned how to survive alone. In the chaos of New York, survival means blending in, staying quiet, and trusting no one. Until a tip. Until a movie premiere. Until her. Scarlett Johansson is used to bright lights, red carpets, and the constant pull of fame. But when a routine premiere night takes a dark turn, she's faced with something far from scripted. As she steps in to help a young girl in crisis, the boundaries between her public persona and personal life begin to dissolve, leaving behind only raw instinct, compassion, and something she hasn't felt in a long time: purpose. Two worlds. One city. And an unexpected connection that just might save them both.
