Angela Chestnut can't wait to move to New York City to fulfill her dream on the stages of Broadway, but first she has to finish her last year of college. When a couple of the student stages are damaged in a flood, she moves the show she has to direct to a local community center in the hopes of raising enough funds that they'll be able to keep their doors open. But someone wants The Center to fail, and if that means Angela's show, and her final grade, have to fail as well, they're totally okay with that. Since they met at her sister's place the previous summer, Alex Checketts has had an unhealthy interest (in his opinion) in Angela, who is twelve years younger than he is. He finds himself roped into accompanying the musical she's written for her project and gets caught up in the mystery behind who is trying to shut down the community center. His attraction to Angela only grows as they spend more time together and her interest in him isn't helping his resolve not to date her. Whether they'll be able to make it work after she moves to New York worries them both. But first they have to survive to put on Angela's show and save The Center.
