Pop culture writer and aspiring novelist Vanessa Sills (Lenz) escapes run-ins with her ex by retreating to a quaint B&B in rural Washington. A chance meeting with the illustrious, elusive and reclusive author - and local resident - Martin Clayborne (Dalton) has Vanessa star-struck and determined to land an exclusive interview. With a big promotion on the line, a persistent Vanessa creates reasons to see Martin, who eventually becomes intrigued enough with her honest offer to let him finally tell his side of the story to his devoted fans. A spark ignites between them as they spend more time together during the interviews, but its clear they are more than literally worlds apart and that Vanessa has put her own aspirations, dreams and romantic life aside. Its when Vanessa is back home in Portland and a mysterious gift arrives from Martin that she makes a surprise decision, leading her to assertively take her own advice and "go boldly in the direction of your dreams and live the life you imagine."
Long having put aside her dream of being a novelist, Vanessa Sills works as a writer at Portland-based Westside Lifestyle Magazine, which presents pop cultural trends or tries to set those trends through what they print. Ahead of schedule as usual for her next article deadline, she is easily convinced by her best friend Amber to take a relaxing weekend getaway at the Thompson Lake Inn, Ambers parents bed and breakfast in upstate Washington at this, the end of their off season, meaning that they will have the place all to themselves. The topic of Vanessas next article has the potential to change when she discovers that celebrity mystery novelist Martin Clayborne lives in Thompson Lake, he who once led a very fast and public life, but who dropped out of sight five years ago no longer doing interviews, wanting his novels instead to speak for themselves, which they have in their success. With a promotion to editor on the line, Vanessa promises the magazines Editor-in-Chief Peter Roth an exclusive interview with Martin, even before she has asked Martin for one. With Vanessa working on getting that interview without success as Martin sees her as just another nosy reporter who hes turned down time after time, the process gets to the point that not only is the promotion on the line, but that she will probably be fired if she doesnt come through. With Martin being just another local who gets involved in community affairs, Vanessa gets a possible in with him in his role as the organizer of this years Founders Day festivities. In working on the interview, Vanessa may discover things about Martin that she did not expect, and at the same time may make her reevaluate the direction of her own life.
