RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE if it was inspired by Taylor Swift in this sparkling queer rom com!

It's a love story, will she ever say yes...

With her life seemingly up in flames, Renee Feldman did not need to run into Lola Gray - global superstar, America's sweetheart and effortlessly perfect in every way, and her childhood neighbour.

But Lola Gray is not the woman the world knows. It's been a year since her secret relationship imploded, simultaneously breaking Lola's heart and cancelling her album.

Lola hopes that one night with Renee, the woman she's never forgotten, will refill her creative well. But then Lola's team needs a director for her documentary and Renee is the only answer.

When Renee suggests they tell that story in the documentary, Lola agrees, even if it means coming out and damaging her reputation. But neither Renee or Lola realize how hard it will be to tell their love story, in an industry that sets a narrative of its own...
