Plot
Vanessa Sills (Bethany Joy Lenz) is a hard-working pop culture writer in Portland, Oregon who is up for a promotion. Her best friend Amber (Alegue Reid) confronts her with her workaholic tendencies and convinces to join her on a weekend trip to her hometown. While in the small rural town, Vanessa finds out that one of the inhabitants is her favorite mystery author Martin Clayborne (Brett Dalton). Martin was once a well-celebrated author, but became reclusive after a not so flattering interview with him was published and went viral.
When her boss calls her that she might miss the promotion, Vanessa in the heat of the moment falsely promises him an exclusive interview with Martin. Then, she sets out to interview Martin, but he has sworn off any media appearances since his last interview. Due to her persuasive attitude, he grants her three interviews, and throughout the process they grow closer. Once an aspiring novelist herself, Vanessa becomes inspired by Martin's life story, and he manages to inspire her to finish her first novel, which she started writing years earlier but never finished due to her full work schedule.
