Season 2
The "Bombshell" team comes one step closer to achieving their Broadway dream. The Boston run was the success the team was hoping for, including producer Eileen Rand; writers Tom Levitt; and Julia Houston; last-minute star Karen Cartwright; and director Derek Wills. But, they are all about to learn even a charmed show cannot avoid paying for sins of the past. Will Eileen get away with mixing business and pleasure with her shady paramour, Nick? Will Julia's marriage to Frank survive the revelation of her infidelity? Will actress Ivy Lynn bounce back from the shame of losing the lead role to rival Karen and bedding her fiance in retaliation? And will Tom and Julia's long-time partnership endure the changing tides of opportunity?
