carrie monroe has played several leading roles throughout her life, but she is about to take on her greatest role yet - middle school drama teacher. as carrie embarks on this new role of teaching mischievous middle schoolers and producing the fall musical, she is also juggling the role of caregiver for her sick father. it's a lot to take on, but carrie is the queen of organization and planning. everything was going to plan. college degree: check. dream job: check. teaching at the same school as her ex-boyfriend...not a part of the plan.it has been three years since carrie reluctantly left evan stanton behind during college. evan is just as handsome and dreamy as ever, and carrie is just as in love. evan is cold and standoffish whenever carrie walks into the room. this fuels her pride and regret, and carrie vows to avoid evan at every opportunity. what happens when the two are forced to work together? will seeing each other every day bring them back together, or bring back the memories of too many regrets?
