Synopsis

Miss Walters’s life is upended after she does the unthinkable and forgets to return a perusal script.

Now, she’s on the run from international conglomerate Musical Theater Global, trying to dodge the two agents they sent after her.

(Which is especially hard since one of them can talk to birds.) If Miss Walters wants to live one day more, she must find and return the perusal before MTG finds her.

Return of the Script is a madcap chase by plane, train, and automobile that teaches an important lesson: Always read the terms and conditions.
