A contemporary forbidden romance set in the world of musical theater.

Maxine Ryan is trying to save her career on stage from the wreckage of her messy divorce when she meets North Portman, the handsome young understudy for her costar.

Now North and Max must decide whether to fight the undeniable chemistry between them or to risk their careers for one more night of passion.
