A request from her life-long friend sends renowned photographer, April (Bree Williamson), back to her hometown of Belmont Hills. The trip is just what April needs as she struggles to decide whether or not to take a job offer that, though lucrative, will take her even further away from her artistic roots. Her return, however, puts her face to face with the reason she escaped Belmont Hills in the first place, Luke (Jason Dohring), the love of her youth and the man who broke her heart. Once creative partners who dominated the local art scene, April and Luke haven’t spoken in years. Convinced that April is his long-lost muse, Luke’s daughter Jess (Caitlin Carmichael), persuades them to create art together once again. Thrown back into each other’s lives, Luke and April reawaken their passion for art and rediscover feelings they had long been missing. With the clock ticking away at the chance to accept her extravagant job offer, the nostalgia of the life April left behind pushes her to question what her heart truly wants.

JASON DOHRING (Luke Dwyer) – From a 400-year-old vampire working to keep his identity under wraps, to a charming, manipulative serial killer confounding the doctor assigned to his
case, and a portrayal of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, Jason Dohring has brought to live some of the most diverse characters to the big and small screens over the last few years.
Dohring recently reprised his starring role as ‘Logan Echolls’ opposite Kristen Bell in Warner Bros’ “Veronica Mars.” “Veronica Mars” recently made theatrical history, becoming one of the most successful Kickstarter projects of all time, raising over $5.7 million dollars to make the movie from over 90,000 fans and supporters.

By eight years old he was booking print and television jobs, and launched his theatrical career at 11 years old. He attended the Young Actor’s Space, where he honed his craft and studied alongside Jessica Biel and Allison Mac. Some of his early credits included guest star roles on: “JAG,” “Boston Public,” “Cold Case,” “Judging Amy,” and “Roswell.”

Once “Moonlight” wrapped, Dohring landed series roles in two high profile pilots: “Washingtonienne” produced by Sarah Jessica Parker for HBO, and “Body Politic” opposite Minka Kelly, Jay Hernandez and Gabrielle Union for CW. In 2012, Dohring recurred on the CW’s “Ringer,” opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar.
