Based on true events, the story follows an engaged couple pursuing their own passions: Matt - his music, and Sara - her acting. When Sara is offered a dream role, she must choose between her following her dream and facing her financial reality. When Matt refuses to stand behind her in making this decision, Sara looks to a charming co-worker for support. Will Matt realize the importance of Sara's crisis? Will Sara let her dream slip by to preserve her creature comforts? Will this glimmer of hope for Sara mean and end for the two of them as a couple?
