In the summer of 2000, seventeen-year-old AJ Graves dreams of being a writer; instead, she’s stuck working in a video rental store, with slim odds of escaping her small town and large family. Then in walks the enigmatic and intense Noah Drew, of the infamous Drew acting dynasty, and her life changes forever. Despite wildly different upbringings, the two forge a deep bond first as friends, then as acting partners, until the day Noah disappears without a word. Seven years later in New York City, AJ is shocked to find herself cast in the same intergalactic TV production as Noah, by then a well-known Hollywood heartthrob. As their on-screen characters grow closer every day, the lines between reality and acting begin to blur. Unable to stay away from each other, AJ and Noah are forced to confront the truth of what happened years ago and the devastating secret that will send their lives careening apart, even as fate continues to draw them together.
