Cora Lane gets tongue-tied, is often ignored and would rather hide in the library than step onto a stage. However, when her parents decide to renovate an old theatre in small-town Tasmania, Cora realises this is the perfect opportunity for her to reinvent her personality. Enter Cora 2.0, stage left. When Cora quickly slips back into her old ways and has once again made friends with the librarian rather than kids her own age, she feels lost. Frustrated she's not the person she wants to be, she shares her deepest feelings with her imaginary pen pal. The last thing she'd expect is for her letters to go missing. And now, the real Cora Lane is about to go public, but is she ready?
