In the heart of 1950s Hollywood-a world defined by glamour, secrecy, and societal expectations-an unlikely bond forms between two women on opposite sides of the spotlight. Lana Chastain is the epitome of a movie star: stunning, enigmatic, and endlessly desired by millions. But behind the dazzling façade lies a woman trapped in a toxic marriage, haunted by loneliness, and searching for something real. Ruby Jamison, a young, aspiring screenwriter from South Dakota, arrives in Hollywood with wide eyes and big dreams. Hired as Lana's assistant, she finds herself drawn to the actress for reasons beyond admiration; there's a connection she can't ignore.
As their friendship deepens, Ruby becomes Lana's confidante, a role that pulls her closer to a world she's only dreamed of-and to feelings she's never dared to explore. But in a time and place where their romance is forbidden, both women must navigate the thrill and terror of a hidden love. Through late-night script rehearsals, stolen glances on set, and whispered secrets in private trailers, they discover that some connections are too powerful to resist.
Ellie, a shy and insecure 23-year-old, takes a pre-wedding trip with her fiancé and his friends, only to be left alone with Bella, the girlfriend of her fiancé's best friend.
Bella is confident, bold, and reckless, contrasting with Ellie's quiet nature. She draws Ellie in without trying, making her heart race and doubts rise.
After sharing an unexpected, forced moment, what starts as an uneasy connection, quickly sparks intense emotions and a forbidden attraction they can't ignore.
