In the six years that Andi has lived in New York, many things have changed. Not only is she an accomplished artist and working guitar technician, her former boyfriend Zacky and his band Avenged Sevenfold have also found immense success. They've avoided each other for so long that when they're forced back into each other's lives due to a friend's wedding, they're both uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. In spite of this, Andi decides to come back to California for good to try and escape the competitive art scene in New York, temporarily leaving her life of touring and her boyfriend behind as she tries to expand her career. Thus, Andi is forced to start on a new chapter of maturation, life, and generally figuring things out-- question is, will her past come back to haunt her, or will she finally get the fairy-tail ending she's dreamed of?
