In the neon-lit hum of a Wilmington QuikTrip, Lindsey Stucky is just trying to survive. With a four-month-old daughter, a traumatic past she can't outrun, and a deadbeat ex who won't stay away, she doesn't have room for "dreams." But when Neil Crosby—the soulful, shoeless guitarist for The Runarounds—walks into her graveyard shift, her carefully built walls start to crack. While the band chases viral fame, Neil finds himself chasing the quiet strength of a girl who has never known a steady hand. A story of high-stakes motherhood, the weight of addiction, and finding a melody in the middle of a mess.
