Madilynn Manheim has always lived in the spotlight-whether it's from growing up in the shadow of her famous older brother, Milo Manheim, or building her own social media empire one TikTok at a time. At 17 she's known online for her relatable videos, effortless beauty, hilarious skits with her friends, and chaotic family TikToks featuring none other than Milo himself. But behind the ring lights and filters, Madilynn has one secret obsession: Malachi Barton-Disney heartthrob, teenage dream, and her literal celebrity crush since she was eight.

So imagine the complete chaos when she lands a dream role in a new teen drama series...and Malachi is cast as her love interest.

Here's where it gets messy: Malachi and Milo? Already close from filming a movie together a year ago. Malachi and Madilynn? They've texted here and there, made a few TikToks together, and followed each other since forever. So technically, they know each other. But now, they're spending hours on set every day-rehearsing lines, doing chemistry reads, going to cast dinners-and suddenly, the casual friendship they once had is turning into something much blurrier.

Everyone online starts shipping them HARD. Edits. Paparazzi shots. The internet is obsessed with them. People say they're meant to be. And maybe they are. But with everyone watching, feelings get confusing fast-especially when Madilynn starts catching real feelings for a guy she's dreamed about for almost a decade... and now he might actually like her back.

But being in love with someone who literally everyone wants, while trying to stay true to yourself? Not so simple. Especially when jealousy starts creeping in and threatening everything-from her career to her friendships to whatever might be starting between her and Malachi.

Is it possible to fall in love under a spotlight? Or will the pressure break them before they even begin?
