A drama centered on a rising country-music songwriter (Hedlund) who sparks with a fallen star (Paltrow). Together, they mount his ascent and her comeback, which leads to romantic complications involving her husband/manager (McGraw) and a beauty queen-turned-singer (Meester).

Chiles Stanton:
Oh, hi Beau.


Beau Hutton:
It would have been easier to wish me luck.


Chiles Stanton:
I'm on board. I'm playing three songs tonight.


Beau Hutton:
Says who?


Chiles Stanton:
I happen to be in consideration as the new opening act for Miss Kelly Canter. James, my new manager, booked me this gig as a rehearsal... not that I need it.


Beau Hutton:
Clint, tell me Garth Brooks here is not opening for me.


Clint:
She's not, she's closing for you. Can't do nothing about it either.


Beau Hutton:
This is your place, you can tell her no.


Clint:
Not for James Canter, I can't.


Beau Hutton:
You're gonna let this prom queen get up on stage? For Christ's, sake, Patsy Cline sang here.


Clint:
I don't care, she's still gonna play. I'm not cutting your set, Beau, you got the same three songs.


Chiles Stanton:
Don't worry, Beau. I have no intention of stealing your invisible career. See, I want one.

Errors in geography: A billboard referencing Nashville exit 209A is very prominent in the background and they show the Nashville skyline while supposedly in Dallas. They also had real Nashville TV station logos on their microphones.
