A New Beginning Hollywood actor Dayne Matthews and Katy Hart are married and living in Bloomington, Indiana, where Dayne has found a solution to his on-camera love scenesā??he wants Katy to star in his next film. Katy wins the part and is cast opposite her superstar husband. The story of a small town girl's dream-come-true is too much for the press to resist, and in an effort to appease them, the couple agrees to a 12-episode reality show.

She has always made good decisions, but she wants to experience more of life.
