Ruby Crandall, the twin of Rock, often faded into the background with her large family. But the way to gain attention came to her in the form of acting.

The Windy River Playhouse takes center stage in this community theater romance between a rich woman born into a life of privilege and Captain David Dixon of the Chicago Fire Department, a poor man used to farm life, not city nights. He’s a man burned by his ex-wife and carries a bias against spoiled rich women. But when he meets Ruby, he fights the attraction when he learns she comes from the famous and wealthy Crandall family. Ruby, while drawn to the handsome captain, struggles to understand how he could have ever been married to her high school nemesis, Camille.

Both the firefighter and actress must prove to the other their mettle if they can ever hope to forge a romance despite the sparks of love flowing between them.
