Five years after her sitcom fame collapsed, Claire is trying to pass as an ordinary senior in Glenridge, Connecticut.
Betrayals by her manager-father left the former child star broke and humiliated, so she hides that past even from her best friend while scraping together money for NYU.
A movie shoot brings back Luke Cordova, her former co-star and ex–best friend, along with the crush she once had on him.
He offers to fund her college plans if she lets him shadow her while he researches a role.
As the October air turns colder, Claire falls for Luke again and must face the reasons she disappeared.
Choosing him may also mean stepping back into a life she has spent years trying to forget.
