Two girls dream of being onstage.
New York City is a breeding ground for talent, money, dreams. And unfortunately, a battleground, crawling with soldiers of poverty, sadness and lost hope.
Two girls walk two different streets, heading for their dreams.
Jacqueline Cassandra Crawford, daughter of Luke Crawford fashion designer extraordinaire, has all the tools she needs to become a hit singer-money, clothes, carefully crafted social media... but perhaps what she lacks is a strong voice. After discovering a girl her age singing in the subway, she knows for sure that she has to have her voice. But soon after coming upon the girl, she seems to disappear.
Harley wants nothing more than to have her voice heard. Years of terrible foster homes, poverty and struggling has left her unable to see that dream come to fruition. She can't see herself doing anything more than seconds long song covers while riding up and down the subway.
Fate keeps bringing the two together, and doing a bad job at keeping them like that. Though perhaps something can come of the union if they really work for it.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
