At Northbridge University's elite film program, ambition is currency and talent is everything. Ezra Hale has neither or so he believes. Quiet, anxious, and painfully self‑doubting, he's spent years hiding behind the camera, convinced he doesn't belong in the spotlight.
Until the day he auditions for Glass Wings, the most coveted student film of the year.
And meets Kai Rivera.
Kai is everything Ezra isn't confident, magnetic, already signed with an agency, and whispered about in every hallway. He's the department's golden boy untouchable, unreadable, and impossible to ignore. Ezra expects to crumble under Kai's intensity.
Instead, something sparks.
Their audition ignites a connection neither of them can explain raw, electric, and far too real. Ezra surprises everyone, including himself. Kai, who never lets anyone get close, finds himself thrown off balance by the quiet boy who matches him beat for beat.
But in a world where every moment is watched, judged, and captured on camera, chemistry is dangerous. Feelings are messier than scripts. And the line between acting and something more begins to blur.
As rehearsals deepen and walls start to crack, Ezra and Kai are forced to confront the truth:
Some scenes aren't performed.
Some moments aren't scripted.
And some heartbeats can't be ignored.
