As the stage manager for her high school's production, she finds joy in the precise coordination of the show's moving parts. However, on opening night, just five minutes before the curtains rise, the unexpected happens-the lead actress, Kelly, is missing. Desperate to save the show, Layla turns to Tina, the understudy, only to find her too sick to perform. With no other option, Jill, Kelly's bold and supportive friend, suggests the unthinkable: Layla should take the stage. She knows every line, every blocking mark, and every cue. Despite her paralyzing stage fright, Layla realizes she may be the only one who can save the performance. As she steps into the spotlight, Layla stumbles through the first few lines, her voice shaky, her movements stiff. But from the wings, Tina and Jill cheer her on. With their encouragement, Layla gradually finds her rhythm. The timid stage manager transforms into a compelling performer, earning the audience's admiration-and discovering her own inner strength.
