Summary
Sebastian Stan is supposed to be in Minneapolis for a photoshoot. Instead, he's in a no-name town called Kensington, population 266, chasing silence on empty roads and maybe running from himself a little bit. What he finds instead is a bar full of found family, a memorial celebration for someone named Matty B., and a girl on stage with a voice that feels like heartbreak wrapped in honey.
Lacey Wright doesn’t believe in fate, but she does believe in calling out celebrities who show up in the middle of nowhere, as if they're not begging for attention. She’s 18, slightly tipsy, dangerously observant, and somehow already knows too much about him. She’s also complicated — autistic, brilliant, and raised by a wild patchwork of people who call each other kin without sharing blood.
One song, one drink, one moment of real eye contact — and Sebastian’s life flips sideways.
He’s too old, too famous, too heartbroken.
She’s too young, too grounded, too honest.But in a town that doesn’t do paparazzi and doesn’t do judgment, maybe none of that matters.
Or it matters way too much.
