Spoilers ahead

In Wollaston, Massachusetts, in 1913, a bright and imaginative teenage girl named Ruth Gordon Jones becomes utterly captivated by a theater performance of The Pink Lady in a Boston playhouse. The glow of the stage lights and the magic of the performers plant a lasting dream in her heart: a genuine desire to pursue a career on the stage. Inspired by the lead actress Hazel Dawn, Ruth writes a fan letter that reaches beyond a simple autograph request; it plants a spark of possibility in her, and Hazel Dawn’s kind response offers a hopeful nudge toward the life Ruth longs to live.
