When musician Ria Walsh lands the lead role in director Ben Crawford's next film, she works up the courage to leave her toxic marriage. Ria gets her kids out of the house and brings backup when she hands over the divorce papers, anticipating her ex-husband's violence. Finally free, she dives into her role in the film, which proves to be an all-consuming distraction. Even as Ria secretly falls for her genius director, she accepts the offer of a summer fling with her co-star, Gregory Finn . . . a man notorious for romancing his leading ladies and leaving them when production wraps up.
Filming on location at a wild horse sanctuary, Ria finds solace in the horses and slowly gains confidence, channelling her passion and fears into her acting. But as her summer romance gets serious, her heart is pulled between Ben and Gregory, who both get protective when her ex-husband jumps parole and forces tighter security on set. Her ex hunts her, blaming the kids for ruining his life. Ria will have to stop him once and for all to claim the freedom she deserves.
