Sometimes you have to go off-script to find your true role in life ...

Carrie Anderson has always put others first, following the path that was expected of her over her own desires. But when she finds herself jobless and disillusioned, she takes a chance on a new venture in the charming town of Alpine Ridge, discovering a strength she never knew she had. As she helps shape the town's future, Carrie finds herself drawn to the last person she ever expected to find in a small, out-of-the-way town in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State - Hollywood heartthrob Evan Edwards.

Evan thought he had it all - fame, fortune, and a successful career as an action movie star.

As Carrie and Evan navigate their growing feelings, they must confront their fears and overcome the challenges of their different worlds. Will Carrie find the courage to step into the spotlight of Evan's world? Or will Evan be willing to leave behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for a chance at real happiness? In this heartwarming tale of love, self-discovery, and small-town charm, Carrie and Evan must learn that sometimes the greatest love stories are unscripted.
