Maddie confronts a secret from her past when she has an encounter with the real Madison Banks, a former actor who had her career ruined by a selfish Maddie and now seeks revenge on her old nemesis by kidnapping Frank and demanding an audition to prove she has what it takes to be a star.
Kirstie revolves around Madison "Maddie" Banks, a renowned Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo, the son she gave up at birth, suddenly appears hoping to connect after his adoptive parents have died.
However, Maddie doesn't exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. But when Maddie's assistant and best friend, Thelma, and outlandish driver Frank encourage her to give Arlo a chance, Maddie is shocked to find that perhaps she has motherly instincts after all.
