An Irish lighting designer. A rising rockstar. And a backstage confrontation that changes everything.

Holly Kelly knows light and shadow better than anyone in London. When she sees rising musician Ray Wilson's talent being swallowed by a second-rate stage rig, she doesn't stay silent. She expects to be kicked out by security; instead, Ray is intrigued by the woman who has the nerve to call his set "amateur hour."

Joining Ray's crew is the big break Holly needs, but the music industry is a minefield for a woman trying to lead a tech team. As their creative collaboration turns into a scorching backstage affair, the stakes turn personal. Ray is on the brink of superstardom, and Holly is one "girlfriend" label away from losing her professional reputation. When a dream offer in Berlin threatens to pull her away, they must decide: is their connection a fleeting spark or a flame that can survive the spotlight?
