Overview

Back in their teens, musician Poppy and artist Norah were glued at the hip, their friendship blossoming into a whirlwind romance. But just as quickly as things heated up, something happened that forced Poppy to pull the plug, leaving Norah heartbroken and in the dark about what went wrong. With a secret she couldn't share, Poppy hit the road to pop stardom, reluctantly leaving Norah behind.

Fast forward twenty years: Norah and Poppy are both now parents, their relationship just a painful memory. Until they unexpectedly bump into each other at the school gates and learn their kids aren’t just in the same class, but total besties. And while it’s extremely awkward for Norah and Poppy to have to be around each other, they’ve got no choice but to play nice with each other. Between playdates, bake sales and parties, old sparks start flying, reigniting their long-lost friendship and the attraction they once shared.

As they navigate the chaos of parenting, rediscover each other's quirks, and confront the mystery of their sudden separation years ago, Poppy and Norah find themselves laughing, bickering, and maybe even falling in love all over again.

Second Verse is a sharp and charming tale about the art of giving love (and life) a second shot.
