“The Summer of Him” pairs a recently divorced mother with a younger musician in a romance shaped by heartbreak, fame, and a 17-year age gap. Leading the series are Madison Vice and Griffin Winter, two actors with growing lists of vertical drama credits.

A recently divorced mother and a younger musician find an unexpected connection in GammaTime’s “The Summer of Him,” a romance built around second chances, emotional vulnerability, and a relationship complicated by fame and a 17-year age gap.

The series stars Madison Vice and Griffin Winter, two actors with growing experience in the vertical drama space who bring the story’s emotional push-and-pull to life.

What Is “The Summer of Him” About?

“The Summer of Him” follows Julia, a 42-year-old woman still recovering from a painful divorce after her husband cheated on her with the babysitter. While celebrating her birthday with a friend at a bar, she meets Luke Harper, a 25-year-old musician who has retreated to a small Montana town to clear his head and work on a new album.

The connection between them is immediate, but Julia struggles with the attention surrounding Luke’s public life and the age difference between them. The story blends celebrity romance fantasy with a more emotional second-chance storyline centered on healing and rediscovering confidence after heartbreak.

Madison Vice Plays Julia

Madison Vice stars as Julia, the show’s emotionally guarded lead navigating life after divorce. While the character initially hesitates to open herself up again, her relationship with Luke slowly pushes her out of the emotional isolation she has built around herself.

Vice is a Los Angeles-based singer, actress, and model. Born and raised in San Diego, California, she later attended school in Connecticut and earned a BFA in Musical Theatre from the Hartt School before returning to California to continue performing.

Vice has experience in both film and theatre and has worked with Broadway directors and film producers. Her theatre credits include productions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Into the Woods,” and “The Tempest,” while her screen work includes “Journey to Hell,” “Playing with Beethoven,” and several recent vertical drama projects.

Her recent vertical acting credits include “Legally Bound to Love,” “Goodbye, My Tempting Wife,” “Double Life: Meet My Mafia Ex Again,” and “Journey to Hell.”

Griffin Winter Plays Luke

Playing Luke is Griffin Winter, a Los Angeles-based actor and model whose recent work has largely centered on romance-focused vertical dramas.

Luke is introduced as a successful musician who escapes to Montana hoping to reset creatively and emotionally while working on new music. His connection with Julia quickly becomes more complicated as their relationship draws attention because of his celebrity status and their age gap.

Winter’s previous credits include “Park Avenue Girls Don’t Play Nice,” “Spotlight on Secret Strangers in Love,” “Swan Queen Dancing Back into His Arms,” and “My CEO In-Law Chose Me Over Her Son.”

Winter is also part of the cast of the upcoming series “Caldwell Academy,” which features Noah Fearnley, Mariah Moss, Grace Woods Swanson, among others.

Age-gap romances have long been part of the appeal of vertical dramas, but “The Summer of Him” approaches the dynamic through the perspective of an older female lead rebuilding her confidence after betrayal.

The story leans into familiar romantic fantasy elements — a famous musician, a spontaneous small-town connection, and intense emotional chemistry — while grounding the relationship in Julia’s hesitation to trust again after her marriage fell apart.
