About Ruby Can’t Fail

After 10 years in Hollywood struggling to make it as an actress and realizing that most of her roles have 
consisted of playing dead bodies on crime shows, Ruby Keebler admits she has pretty much failed.  
She is deep into her 30s, with no job, no husband, no kids, and no prospects. Now what?  Ready for 
change but with few options, she returns home to the small lakeside town where she grew up.
