Nate Foster has come a long way from Jankburg, Pennsylvania. His stellar audition landed him the role of second understudy for E.T. in E.T.: The Musical, and he's living the dream. But all is not perfect in Broadway paradise. Nate isn't as Broadway-trained as the other kids in the ensemble, and it shows. And his nemesis, Jordan Rylance - playing the starring role of Eliott - is doing his best to make Nate's life as hard as possible. With his dreams on the line, can Nate pull it together before he's sent home?
