\nLeading Ladies do not end up on tabloid covers. \;
\nAfter a messy public breakup\, s oap opera darling Jasmine Lin Rodriguez finds her face splashed across the tabloids. When she returns to her hometown of New York City to film the s tarring role in a bilingual romantic comedy for the number one streaming s ervice in the country\, Jasmine figures her new &ldquo\;Leading Lady Plan& rdquo\; should be easy enough to follow&mdash\;until a casting shake-up pa irs her with telenovela hunk Ashton Suá\;rez. \;
\nLeading Ladies don&rsquo\;t need a man to be happy. \;
\nAfter his last telenovela character was killed off\, Ashton is worried his career is dea d as well. Joining this new cast as a last-minute addition will give him t he chance to show off his acting chops to American audiences and ping the radar of Hollywood casting agents. To make it work\, he&rsquo\;ll need to generate smoking-hot on-screen chemistry with Jasmine. Easier said than do ne\, especially when a disastrous first impression smothers the embers of whatever sexual heat they might have had. \;
\nLeading Ladies do not rebound with their new costars. \;
\nWith their careers on the line\, Jasmine and Ashton agree to rehearse in private. But rehearsal leads to kissing\, and kissing leads to a behind-the-scenes romance worthy of a soap opera. While their on-screen performance improves\, the media s potlight on Jasmine soon threatens to destroy her new image and expose Ash ton&rsquo\;s most closely guarded secret.
