The celebrated author of The Myth of You and Me explores an
untraditional love story through the lens of a character actor who must
finally become the hero of her own story.
After a series of missteps in the face of his newfound fame, actor
Charlie Outlaw flees to a remote island in search of anonymity and a
chance to reevaluate his recent breakup with his girlfriend, actress
Josie Lamar. But soon after his arrival on the peaceful island, his
solitary hike into the jungle takes him into danger he never
anticipated.
As Charlie struggles with gaining fame, Josie struggles with its loss.
The star of a cult TV show in her early twenties, Josie has spent the
twenty years since searching for a role to equal that one, and feeling
less and less like her character, the heroic Bronwyn Kyle. As she gets
ready for a reunion of the cast at a huge fan convention, she thinks all
she needs to do is find a part and replace Charlie. But she can't forget
him, and to get him back she'll need to be a hero in real life.
