Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

An out of control actress escapes from rehab and flees to a small town where no one recognizes her, joining the eccentric townspeople in a local production of The Taming of the Shrew while reassessing her priorities in life. Sierra Young's explosive on-set tantrums have made her the talk of Tinseltown. Nobody wants to work with her, and eventually she's persuaded to check into a Utah rehab clinic. But the discipline there is just too much for this diva to handle, and after fleeing the facility Sierra seeks refuge in the tiny hamlet of Heber. There, she meets talented young Yale theater major Tyler. Tyler has recently returned to Heber in order to restore his family's dilapidated playhouse. Incredibly, no one in Heber recognizes Sierra, a fact that allows her to finally shed her bad-girl Hollywood persona as she prepares to play the role of Kate in Tyler's production of The Taming of the Shrew.
