PLAY TO MY HEART is a slow burn romance about two teens from very different worlds–Hollywood via Wisconsin and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Pollux Ross, a fading child star, has been trapped in his LA condo by crippling anxiety attacks for months after his heart was evicerated on social media by the girl he trusted his heart to. Paparazzi prowl outside the condo gates. He doesn’t even have it in him to play piano anymore. After his agent calls with a job offer in Nova Scotia, Pollux decides his life is worth living again. He finds the courage to confront his anxiety and agrees to film.

Charlotte Beaton wants to graduate her IB program and become a marine biologist, all while helping Shore Warriors collect data around climate change. She doesn’t have time for her family’s fiddling legacy or for happiness, really. But she’s about to make a ton of money to help pay for university–Hollywood’s filming at the hotel she works at and bringing all their American money for tips. Charlotte’s less thrilled that Hollywood is also stealing her family’s lobster boat when she needs it most for data collection.

A chance encounter brings Charlotte and Pollux together, and the healing power of music connects their hearts. When Shore Warriors lose funding, Charlotte fears her goals and coastal protections for her community are slipping away. Pollux uses his fame—and social media—to try and save them, but the ugly realities of Pollux’s world threaten to rip everything apart.
