Heart Strings (2024)

Lucky Fontana and Billie Carton are desperately trying to succeed in Americana music, but so far, it's just a dream. He's as cocky and colorful as she is quiet and introspective, but in their own ways, they want the same thing: a chance to share their songs with the world. When music competition reality show, "AMERICANA DREAM," announces a search for married couples who sing and write, the two unmarried and very mismatched artists overcome her reticence at breaking the rules and pretend to be married in order to compete. Country music mogul Ray Pursell and his label's biggest star and his wife, Precious Blue, are the two judges and hosts of "AMERICANA DREAM" and they select Lucky and Billie for the big, secret taping that is coming up on the weekend. However, Lucky and Billie discover that the competition is not between couples, but husband against wife. Only one of them will win the prize of $1 million dollars and a contract with Ray's Kingsgate Records. And the plan for the weekend taping is to be as openly rude, competitive and cutthroat as they can be. So Lucky and Billie must act out the parts of married songwriters who must choose between love and success, the winner takes all, even if it means the end of their vows. It should be easy. Ater all, they're not really married. They dwell in the battle between love and greed, art and commerce, kindness and cold bloodedness, a theme as old as the conflict between Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. But someone must lose.
