Bailey Flanigan spends her evenings with Brandon Paul, her Hollywood co-star, wandering through New York City and talking on his Malibu Beach balcony. These moments with Brandon stir unexpected emotions and make her question everything about her future with Cody Coleman, who has maintained a painful silence between them. Meanwhile, Cody coaches a small-town football team that has captured national headlines. His success brings him closer to a woman who understands his new world in ways Bailey never could. Despite their separate paths, both Bailey and Cody find themselves unable to forget what they once shared. An unexpected tragedy may force Cody to reconsider his choices. The question becomes whether Bailey and Cody can bridge more than a year of distance and silence, and if their connection will prove strong enough to overcome the lives they have built apart.
