[edit] Synopsis
An aspiring 14-year-old concert violinist named Emily Lindstrom (played by Wood) spends her summer practicing for an audition to get into a prestigious music school while her friends go off to camp. She also runs a secret-keeping business, in which other children give her fifty cents to tell her a secret, which she promises to keep; this is a talent that she is normally very good at. Meanwhile, her parents are expecting another child and seem to care more about it than Emily.
New neighbors move in next door, including Phillip (played by Angarano). During the move, he accidentally breaks a valued chess piece and is caught by Emily as he attempts to bury it in the front garden. Phillip pays Emily fifty cents to keep his deed a secret, and to hide the piece in her treasure trunk (along with other broken property from her other clients, in paper bags labeled with their names).
When Phillip decides to join Emily in an afternoon tea session using her family's expensive china, they accidentally break one of the teacups. Faced with the challenge of keeping her own secret and to have someone else know about it, Emily starts to lose her secret-keeping talent as she falls for Phillip. Meanwhile, as Phillip is also falling for Emily, Phillip's brother David enters the picture. David also begins falling for Emily -- which makes Phillip jealous.
During the pre-birth baby shower, Emily tumbles from a rooftop and is injured, necessitating a trip to the hospital. While Emily is at the hospital, her mother gives birth to her sister. After Emily is released from the hospital, she and Phillip return all of the paper bags to her clients. To thank Phillip, Emily kisses him on the cheek. But then David appears, and Emily kisses David on the lips.
The film made its free-TV premiere on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, April 15, 2006. Disney Channel will premiere this film in July or August 2006.
