Off the Record When a talented rookie finally gets his shot at the majors, he's blindsided by the reappearance of Olivia—the ambitious reporter determined to make her mark in sports journalism. She's relentless, she's infuriating, and she's impossible to ignore, especially when their professional paths keep colliding. As Breslin finds himself drawn to the woman beneath the tough exterior, the line between "on the record" and what they share behind closed doors becomes dangerously blurred. Can two people chasing their dreams find a way to be each other's dream too?
Reading soundtrack
Tense chemistry, stolen moments, and rekindled desire. Blend indie rock intensity with sultry R&B, moody pop ballads, and driving alt-rock. Capture the friction of ambition colliding with attraction—confident yet vulnerable, electric yet intimate.
