Callie loves the theater, unfortunately she can’t sing or act, but she stills find a way to be involved in her school’s drama department by joining the stage crew. Callie is determined to make this year’s production stand out by building a set worthy of Broadway, complete with a working canon. Callie has her work cut out with her, but she also has help from two new friends, twin brothers, Justin and Jesse. Justin is going out for the lead part and is open about his acting ambitions and his sexuality. Jesse is shier than his brother and prefers to remain out of the spotlight, working back stage with Callie. Battling dwindling ticket sales and all the drama off stage, can the production survive?
