Landing a gubernatorial candidate is the fresh start she desperately needs - a chance to focus on meaningful work and leave the drama behind. But then an email from her past sends her world spinning: Charlie, former lead singer of Mischief, the boy band that fueled her teenage obsession, is staging a solo comeback and wants Maya's help to make it happen. Turns out, she likes the grown-up Charlie and his genuine engagement with the world.
