One night you receive an accidental phone call that somehow morphs into a friendship between two lonely people trying to navigate life at the top of their respective careers. You find comfort in each other and despite never meeting in person you become each other’s best friend, until you find yourself slowly falling in love with the charming, charismatic man on the other side of the phone line and you start to hope for maybe something more.

You spend your career following celebrities and reporting on every hint of gossip you can find. It never occurs to you that Michael, the musician with the soft-spoken voice and kind heart you spend hours talking to every night, could also be the most famous celebrity there is.

Michael wants to keep it that way. Wants a friend who likes him for who he is, not what he means to the world and who can know his heart without suffering the price of his fame.
