Adanni Kingsbury is a 21-year-old girl who's dream is to be an artist. She can admit that to everyone but who counts, her mother. Mainly because her mom believes art or music as a career is a waste of time. Could be because of her father, or her mom never trying to aim for her own dreams, she hoped one day she would get the courage to find out.
Maybe the returning person back in town can inspire her, or maybe he'll just teach her that no one's opinion counts anyway including his own. Go on this journey with Adanni to realize that the only support she truly needed all this time was her own.
