Submerged in the depths of screaming fans and camera flashes, Skylar Reed develops an unwelcoming hatred of her status as a pop star.

In the eyes of society, she is a singer with a flawless face who every girl dreads to be and who every boy dreams to have. Although it seems like she is living her dream, she wears a mask when a camera is pointed towards her, and her face soon grows to fit in that mask. Before she knew it, she had lost herself in the midst of fame.

Wanting to redeem herself and find her true self once again, she takes a long-term hiatus from being a pop star and enrolls to a public high school. It was until then that Skylar befriends cute and quirky Flynn Reynolds who not only does not recognize Skylar’s status as a pop star, but a boy who loves his camera more than his own life.

With the help of Flynn, will Skylar be able to find her true self and go back to show biz? Or will her long-term hiatus turn into a permanent hiatus?
