16 year old Audrey Stuart has never made friends easily. Home schooled while travelling with her actor father, she's never stayed long enough in one place to bond with anyone. That, and her consuming obsession with the late starlet Elizabeth Taylor. When her father sends her to Sunny Skies Performing Arts camp for the summer, Audrey feels more alone than ever. The camp is filled with "camp legacies," who've been together since childhood and a slew of unwritten rules, the most important being: drama kids never hang with bandies.
When Audrey is cast as the lead in the original musical adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra (an iconic Elizabeth Taylor role) she finds herself at the centre of the drama/bandie feud and caught between her handsome co-star and a fun-loving bandie.
When the show's director leaves camp unexpectedly, Audrey starts to question if her her place is on the stage or behind the scenes. Maybe, If she can be a little less Elizabeth Taylor and a little more Audrey Stewart, perhaps she can unite the camp and save the show.
