Their pining is mutual.

But their timing? Always wrong.

When a cub reporter interviews a fledgling stage actor for a local radio show, neither expected it to be the first of several flirty encounters as they advanced in their careers. While every reconnection added a little more kindling to a blossoming fire, any chance of pursuing a romance was hampered by timing, distance, and current relationships.

Jamie Murphy is an award-winning actor and Hollywood leading man, but to Liz Bruno, he's just Jamie, an incredibly talented guy that makes her laugh and shares her love of the arts.

More than fifteen years after their first interview, Jamie is starring in his first blockbuster movie. The movie's New York premiere is the biggest assignment of Liz's career. Now standing face-to-face on the red carpet, is their timing finally right?
