To save their home, Finn's theater-loving family puts on an immersive, historical play, but Finn struggles with remembering lines and is simultaneously trying to connect with his crush and deal with his long-time rival.

Finn's older brothers are both actors; one of his moms is an actor and the other one is a director. They even live in an enormous historic mansion owned by the Beauregard, Minnesota's largest regional theater. Finn is desperate to be an actor, too, despite the fact that he can never seem to remember his lines. When a new artistic director threatens to sell the Jorgensen house and kick out his family from the only home he's ever known, his family puts on a show: an immersive 1890s experience. But will it be too much for his mom Lula, who is recovering from cancer? Will Finn connect with his crush and deal with his long-time rival, Jade? Will saving the house save Finn's acting career? -- adapted from jacket
