Overview

Can a quiet librarian save a crumbling theater, find love, and battle his own brain-all before the midnight credits roll?Morgan Reeves likes his life organized. His books are shelved by decade, his vintage posters are perfectly aligned, and his door is locked exactly three times. For a twenty-six-year-old with OCD, routine isn't just a preference-it's a survival mechanism. But when the beloved Argentum Theater is threatened with demolition to make way for a multiplex parking lot, Morgan decides to do the one thing that terrifies him most: make a scene. His plan? A twelve-week ""Midnight Movie"" series featuring cult classics like Plan 9 from Outer Space and Eraserhead. The goal? Average twenty-five attendees to prove the theater is sustainable. The problem? Morgan can barely handle a conversation, let alone a crowd. Enter Dakota Chen, a chaotic, paint-stained artist who has spent the last decade running away from her problems. Back in Crestwood to regroup, she stumbles into Morgan's first screening and finds herself drawn to the quiet projectionist who finds beauty in the weird and imperfect. As the weeks count down and the screenings get wilder-from Rocky Horror shadow casts to Donnie Darko time loops-Morgan and Dakota must navigate their own neurodivergent brains and a growing attraction that defies the script. But with a developer circling the property and Morgan's anxiety spiraling, saving the theater might require more bravery than either of them has ever shown. This heartwarming contemporary romance celebrates cinema, found family, and the courage it takes to just show up. Themes: Neurodivergent Romance (OCD & ADHD Rep) Ode to Cult Cinema & Theaters Small Town Community, Self Discovery & Found Family Mental Health & Anxiety Representation
