If Lola doesn't release new music soon, she'll become irrelevant.

When Lola sees Renee, she knows what she needs to clear her head. Lola's teenage crush on Renee secretly inspired her debut album. One night with Renee will put the past behind her and cure her writer’s block.

But one night turns into much more Lola’s team urgently needs a new director for her documentary Renee is the only answer.

As Lola and Renee reconnect, they can’t deny their feelings for each other. When Renee suggests they tell that story in the documentary, Lola agrees, although it means coming out.
