Into the Woods

Small-town dance teacher Gretchen Miller and big-time rock star Teddy Knight don’t seem to have much in common at first glance, but both are attending an arts summer camp in rural Minnesota and hoping for some much-needed change in their lives. After a lengthy series of bad dating experiences, Gretchen has decided to enter her “crone phase” and replace the search for love with the development of her business. Following the dramatic break-up of Teddy’s band, he’s determined to write his revenge solo album and show up his old bandmates. Despite Gretchen and Teddy’s differences, the camp environment facilitates long conversations and the discovery of an unexpected kinship, along with some serious chemistry. As their time at camp brings them closer and broadens their own sense of their art, they wonder if their feelings can survive in real life. Both lead characters feel fully developed, and the forced proximity of camp proves an ideal setting for a relationship to grow.
