Liz knows loneliness all too well. Haunted by the shadow of her brother's tragic death and engulfed in the ocean of her parents' grief and guilt, Liz struggles to find a reason to live and distances herself from the world. As she navigates a life full of tragedies, she feels like her heartstrings are out of tune, resonating only with sorrow and despair.

However, when she stumbles upon Jason Johnson, everything changes. Jason's presence begins to inspire her and helps her create a melody of healing and hope. This is the imperfectly perfect story of how Liz meets Jason and begins a journey to discover a version of herself she was unsure existed. This is Tuning Heartstrings.

But after a recent fall, her grandmother needs a caregiver and as Dylan recently dropped out of college, she's the perfect girl for the job. So now, after years of deliberately staying far away, Dylan is back and determined to interact with the town, its people, and the tragedy that took place there as little as possible.

36 parts Ongoing
Living in a suffocating household dynamic, 17-year-old Lizzy Jones, finds herself constantly overlooked by her parents who lavish attention on her younger sister, Jamie - their self-proclaimed golden child. Left to navigate life's challenges alone, Lizzy begins to question her place in the world. While her peers are out partying, dating, and conforming to societal expectations, Lizzy feels trapped in a never-ending cycle of trying to fit in. In her monotonous routine, she yearns for something more, something authentic that goes beyond the surface. Enter Parker Watts, the enigmatic rebel of their school. Intrigued by his mysterious aura, Lizzy is drawn to him, sensing that he holds the key to breaking free from her stifling existence. As their paths intertwine, Lizzy discovers a side of herself she never knew existed - a longing for adventure, a desire to challenge the norm, and an appetite for genuine connections. With Parker as her guide, Lizzy learns to embrace her individuality, pushing against the expectations imposed upon her. While her friends conform to societal molds, Lizzy begins to understand the value of forging her own unique path. Caught between the pressures of conforming and the call of her authentic self, Lizzy grapples with her choices throughout her junior year. The more time she spends with Parker, the deeper their connection grows, and the more they both realize that they are searching for something profound amidst the superficiality of teenage life.
