A Second Chance at Stardom
Misty has the talent to succeed, but her personal vices have repeatedly undermined her efforts to get her career moving again. Just when it seems that her best days may be behind her, an opportunity finally comes along that could put her back in the spotlight.
A director has a role that could be exactly what Misty needs. There’s just one complication: the two share a difficult history, and their contentious past threatens to get in the way of the opportunity she’s been waiting for.
As Misty tries to work through her personal baggage and make the most of this potential comeback, Misty Green explores the challenges of rebuilding a career and getting a second chance when the stakes are high.
