Carly Keelin is a 21-year-old attending New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Carly's dream is to become a screenwriter. During one of her classes, her professor and the acting professor decide to join classes for a couple of weeks so that the acting students and the screenwriting students can work on a project together. Carly is paired up with a 20-year-old acting student by the name of Elizabeth Chase. Carly had never liked working with the acting students because all the ones she has met were rude and full of themselves so you could say she was not looking forward to this project. Elizabeth however is different than the rest. She is friendly, sweet, funny, and pleasant to hang around. During Carly's time at Tisch, she faces some problems that are hard to come by. As time progresses, problems that Carly faced in her past resurface which leaves her realizing that at some point, she has to reveal a darker side of herself that she buried deep inside.
