Chicagoan Marla Goldberg must rebuild her life at forty-one after an unexpected divorce. While adjusting to being single, trying to improve conditions at the radio station where she’s an account executive and fit in with her successful family, she dips her toes into the daunting dating pool.

Marla yearns to fulfill her long-held dream of being a full-time, working actor, yet can’t quite believe, “Leap and the net will appear.” Being a movie and TV show extra teaches her meaningful lessons, but she must learn what for her is the hardest lesson of all: how to feel special and valued when you’re not the star.
