Preparing for his new movie in the tiny town of Pinecob, West Virginia, up-and-coming actor Joshua Reed lands himself another drink-driving conviction, this time involving a stolen limo, a dark country road and a cow!
Rather than let him rot in jail, twenty-five-year-old Leanne Gitlin, his fan club president, agrees to let him serve his sentence under house arrest. In 'her' house. But playing the gracious guest isn't part of Joshua Reed's repertoire. And while everyone in town is thinking up excuses to drop by the Gitlin house, Leanne quickly finds herself counting the days until her famous visitor departs.
Leanne, the youngest of five, watched her family fall apart and dutifully stayed put to help her mother pick up the pieces. Stuck in Pinecob, she is itching for something new, but Joshua Reed's media circus isn't quite what she had in mind.
