A young journalist named Laredo comes to speak to Prince regarding his musical career. Prince isn't fond of journalists, but begins to trust the man once he realizes he's more than a journalist. He's a genuine fan of his work. Prince tells Laredo a story of a person he knew in his past, using a fake name for Them as well. This person was more than just his musical inspiration, but his lover. Laredo quickly learns why this story has never been told to the public once he finds out exactly who "Aspen" is.
