Cyrus Goodman and TJ Kippen are two rival actors that always seem to find themselves competing for the same roles. On a hot July day like any other, they discover that their agents have landed them both supporting roles in an L.A. based action movie, but instead of competing for the same role, they now find themselves playing each other's love interests. With a shared past they're both trying to grow from, things get a little complicated when feelings enter the mix. Hey, it's only 6 months. Right?

"He squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, very convinced that he was just seeing things, but when he opened them again the scene hadn't changed. He was still in his bedroom, looking at his neighbour's house, and 𝘛𝘑 𝘒𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 was still sitting cross-legged on the driveway, holding chalk in his hand and admiring the pictures he had very 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 just drawn." ~ Or the one where Cyrus discovers that there's more to TJ Kippen than he previously thought. An unlikely friendship forms between them, only for pesky feelings to become involved.

When Cyrus finds a playlist on TJ's desktop full of old love songs, he realizes that TJ has never been a scary basketball guy but rather a huge sap. TJ just wished Cyrus could realize that all of those songs remind him of a certain boy who likes chocolate chocolate chip muffins without telling him directly. With insecurities and fears almost set in stone, it's hard for TJ to admit that he has a heart aching crush on Cyrus who is trying to avoid just that. Of course, it doesn't seem like both of them are trying to get over each other when they're always together.
