SYNOPSIS:
KAYLEE CLARK grew up in the shadow of her smarter, prettier, more talented sister. So it’s that much more meaningful when RANDY WALKER falls for her. He’s ready to get married, but Kaylee holds him off because she plans to attend art school. Randy dropped out of high school to pursue his music career and, while he’s talented, Kaylee wants to do something more with her life than have babies and sit in bars listening to Randy play.
Eager to get on with her life (and against her father's advice), Kaylee gives up on costly art schools and puts her savings into broadcasting school, insisting her speech and drama successes in high school make it a logical choice. Her ambition and natural talent draws the attention of JIM KELLY, a DJ at a Cincinnati country station. She gets a job there… it isn’t much, but it is all the foot in the door she needs. Cincinnati is a three hour round trip, and Randy hardly ever sees Kaylee. He's jealous of the time she spends with Jim, who isn't shy about his attraction to her. Kaylee refuses to give up her career, and they break up.
A full time slot opens up at the station. They pass up Kaylee to give the job to a man with more experience even though she was praised for her talent and believed a full time job was in her future. She’s furious, but all her complaints get her is fired. Kaylee finds another gig with a tiny station in Florida. It quickly becomes apparent the manager is more interested in having a wife than a DJ. Kaylee leaves it behind.
Unable to go home and admit her failure to forge a career in broadcasting, Kaylee moves back to Cincinnati and aimlessly drifts in menial jobs with an eye on radio job postings. Randy plays gigs, missing her from afar and dealing with his own career set backs until Jim shows up to tell her about a shot at afternoon drive at a Cleveland country station. They kill the audition and score the show.
Even better, Randy is playing a gig in town. Kaylee and Randy instantly reconnect; the time, distance and misunderstandings have done nothing to dampen their love. But they are both heading toward a point in their lives in which they will have to make a serious decision, one way or the other…
RATING: PG-13
