Aspiring musician Cara Faye never expected her life to change overnight, but when she lands a summer internship at a prestigious L.A. recording studio, she suddenly finds herself in the orbit of Ross Lynch-the golden boy of the music industry. At first, she's just another intern fetching coffee, but after a chance encounter leads to an impromptu jam session, Ross takes notice of her talent.
As the two spend more time together, Cara discovers that the real Ross isn't just the charming, carefree guy the world sees-he's dealing with creative pressure, burnout, and a struggle to stay true to himself in an industry that wants to mold him into something he's not. The deeper their connection grows, the more complicated things become. especially when rumors start flying, threatening both of their careers.
With an upcoming world tour on the line, Ross is faced with a choice: follow the safe path his management has laid out for him or take a risk on Cara-and love. Meanwhile, Cara must decide if she's ready to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight alongside him.
But in a world where fame can be fleeting, is their connection real enough to survive, or will they become just another Hollywood heartbreak?
