Rosalind Zielinski always dreamed of something bigger than the small-town traveling circus her family has been a part of for generations. Stifled by her father’s strict rules and limited opportunities for growth, she leaps at the chance to join Calliope, Chicago’s magnificent three-ring circus. With the bustling city as her new stage, Roz is ready to prove she has what it takes to be a star.
While learning how to navigate life on her own, she meets Topher, a dashing acrobat from a famous flying family and Ewan, a kind-hearted dog trainer known for his integrity. Both captivate her, but Roz’s singular focus on stardom leads her to push them - and everyone else - away.
Desperate to prove her worth, Roz goes behind the scenes to steal the spotlight, only to stumble spectacularly. With her dreams in jeopardy and relationships in tatters, Roz must confront her own flaws and learn to mend the promises she's broken. Will she be able to rebuild the relationships she’s damaged and find a way to truly shine?
