This leads to all sorts of serious, funny and romantic adventures. Her opinion doesn’t improve when she meets the newest director, but the two must work together to uncover the saboteur of the film. Sam already has some strong and negative feelings about the movie being shot in her town. When Alex arrives in New Zealand, she ends up almost running over Senior Constable Sam Keegan, the only police officer in Ika Whenu. The movie is being shot on location near the town of Ika Whenu in New Zealand, a stunning and beautiful area of the country. The film has been dubbed the “worst movie ever” already, and filming hasn’t even begun yet. In this tale we follow filmmaker Alex Levitin as she reluctantly takes on the job of director and savior of the film ‘Shezan, Mistress of the Forest’. In Lee Winter’s latest novel, Changing the Script, we get to visit the world she created when she wrote her last book, Breaking Character.

This is a Breaking Character spin-off novel that can easily be read as a standalone story. That includes its nerdy, cute director, Alex, who has woeful driving skills to go with her smart mouth.Īgainst the stunning scenery and chaotic film-set backdrop, attraction flares between the two warring women as they’re forced to work together to find the set saboteur. When Ika Whenu’s Senior Constable Sam Keegan isn’t trying to stamp out a motorcycle gang drug problem afflicting her town, she’s publicly slamming everything about the exploitative film, Shezan, and the Hollywood blow-ins making it. And it’d really help if her film set wasn’t being mysteriously sabotaged. Things might go easier for her if she didn’t almost run over the standoffish, beautiful local cop on her first day in town. LA-based English indie filmmaker Alex Levitin reluctantly takes a job in New Zealand to save the “worst movie ever”, Shezan: Mistress of the Forest.

A funny, small-town lesbian romance about clashing cultures and daring to dream big.
