Cheery Alex Fletcher lives comfortably in Manhattan off the residuals from his 80 s pop success and reprising his hits at school reunions, theme parks, and state fairs. But those gigs are declining, so he jumps at the chance to write a song and record it with reigning teen idol Cora Corman. Trouble is, he s good at melodies but needs a lyricist and has less than a week to finish. Enter Sophie Fisher, subbing for a friend who waters Alex s plants; she s a pretty good poet, quick witted, and could do it, if she d agree. But there s some sort of shadow over her head that Alex may not be able to charm his way past. And what if they do get a song written, what then?
