Into the Blue

Summer 2000, and seventeen-year-old AJ is working in a small-town video rental shop, dreaming of becoming a writer far away. Then Noah walks in: intense, guarded, the youngest of a family of celebrated actors. Their friendship grows into an acting partnership, until the day he vanishes without a word.

Seven years later in New York, AJ lands a part in an intergalactic TV production and finds Noah, now a Hollywood heartthrob, cast alongside her. As their characters draw closer on set, the line between performance and feeling starts to blur, and the two must face what really happened years ago, along with a secret that threatens to pull them apart. Emma Brodie writes longing with real heat, and with an affection for theatre and sci-fi geekery. For anyone who still thinks about their first great love.
