The Science of Selling Yourself Short

Having country superstars for parents has its downsides. For as long as she can remember, Kaylee Phelan has known that she will follow in their footsteps, but then her debut album flops. With a capital ‘F’.

Now on thin ice with the record label, the executives will only let her come out with new music if Kaylee agrees to take a pop/alternative direction for her next album. But for a through-and-through country girl, this is a tough pill to swallow.

Dakota Rhodes needs to catch a break. After getting kicked out of his band and discovering his mother has cancer, Dakota’s drinking habit and writer’s block are spiraling out of control.

When Kaylee’s manager Joel Matthews approaches Dakota with a collaboration deal, he clutches at the opportunity to make music again. Only problem? Kaylee wants nothing to do with a songwriting partnership, least of all with Dakota.

As the two musicians struggle to pick their careers up off the ground, make music on their terms and navigate each other in forced proximity, sparks are sure to fly. But will they ignite something that neither Kaylee nor Dakota saw coming?
