In the golden age of radio, aspiring musician Robert Huntley seeks his big break at WMQZ, guided by the sharp-witted Betty Parsons, who sorts applause mail and dreams of more. As Huntley’s on-air tryouts unfold, a chance moment of unscripted intimacy threatens to rewrite both their futures—if the unforgiving ears of the unseen audience don’t tear them apart first. A charming, bittersweet tale of ambition, romance, and the unpredictable power of the airwaves.
