Ramona Riley once dreamed of becoming a Hollywood costume designer, but a tragic turn of events forced her to abandon her career ambitions and return to her tiny hometown of Clover Lake, New Hampshire. Twelve years later, she’s found herself stuck, working at the local café, caring for her younger sister and father, her dreams a distant memory. But when a big-budget movie comes to Clover Lake, Ramona sees a glimmer of hope for a future she thought was impossible.There’s just one catch: the movie’s star is Dylan Monroe…Ramona’s first kiss and Hollywood’s biggest wild child.

 At thirteen, Ramona and Dylan shared a special day together in Clover Lake. Neither knew the other’s real name, nor expected to see each other again – they were just two young girls who burned brightly in each other’s company for a moment in time.

 Dylan Monroe may have spent her life in the spotlight, but she’s now determined to prove she’s more than the Hollywood nepo baby of two wild rock ‘n’ roll royals. Tired of the party girl persona, she takes on a project in the quaint town of Clover Lake, which she visited when she was young, to prove she’s got real talent. There, she meets a pretty waitress named Ramona – and in an attempt to be “normal,” she asks Ramona to show her an authentic small-town experience.

But as the two women reconnect, it becomes clear that their shared past is much more than a distant memory. And when sparks begin to fly, both must confront their dreams and the reality of their careers—questioning whether their growing connection can support their ambitions, or if their fling will only ever serve as a distraction.
