A young woman new to the city buys an autographed photo of a famous entertainer and mails it to herself at work, hoping to impress her coworkers—only to find her harmless lie catches the attention of Jeff Pierce, the charming son of the store's owner.

But when Alan suggests a visit to the house's romantic widows' walk, something unexpected happens, and Day dares to hope this time might be different. Days later, when an old flame returns with a shocking revelation about Alan's true reasons for visiting, Day must confront whether her family's interference—or her own assumptions—has cost her the one thing she truly wanted.
