He's played heroes, a man who definitely did not star in a movie with a chimp, and one very committed Ugly Duckling. Delia Pearson takes one look at him and sees straight through thirty years of professional charm. He finds this deeply inconvenient.

Nick Thorne was part of a successful ensemble show. That was thirty years ago. Everything since has been steady, solid work and one movie that, for the record, did not involve a chimp. A surprising number of people on the internet disagree.

Now he's in Iron Creek for eight weeks, in a rehearsal room he walked into uninvited, and somehow the most interesting person Delia Pearson has looked at in fifteen years.

She knows what a summer visitor looks like. She knows exactly how this goes. She has been running a youth theater program long enough to spot Nick Thorne's performance at twenty paces. She also spots the swan. She wishes she hadn't.

That's the problem.

A slow-burn, closed-door small-town Romcom about a man who has spent thirty years playing a version of himself — and the summer he finally ran out of material.
