Score follows award-winning screenwriter Verity Hill and world-renowned musician Wright "Monk" Bellamy as they reunite while working together on a film about the Harlem Renaissance. Forced back into each other's orbit years after a life-changing first love, the two must confront old wounds, unfinished business, and feelings that never fully disappeared.

At once romantic and deeply introspective, Score explores creativity, ambition, identity, sexuality, mental health, and the enduring impact of first love. Kennedy Ryan delivers a story that is both emotionally sweeping and profoundly human.
