In this heartwarming tale of love, forgiveness, and redemption, Cadence is stuck in a relationship that makes her miserable. Cadence realizes that after years of trying to be what her boyfriend’s family thinks she should be, Cadence will never fit into their box. It is not who she is. When her boyfriend guilts Cadence into not going to a friend’s funeral by threatening her job, Cadence discovers that she doesn’t like the person she has allowed herself to get whittled into.
Cadence’s stepsister, Jade, convinces Cadence to accompany her to a live music show one night. Cadence feels an immediate connection with the lead singer, Damien. Since Cadence is still in a relationship, she and Damien become friends. Damien is happy to have any part of her since he can’t have it all.
