The only thing on Payton Clarke's mind currently is athletics. At least it should be considering she's been recruited by one of the top university track teams in America. However, after a tragic family accident, Payton begins to question the direction her life is heading. 

Girls are screaming Jason Parker's name all the time, simple as that. As 1/4 of the world's best up and coming bands, pressures on, not only from all the fans, but from the band's record label as well. A new relationship will force him to decide if all of this is really worth it. 

There isn't a worse time for these two to meet, but here they are, struggling to figure out if they're enemies, friends, or just two people passing each other by. Maybe it's time for both of them to slow down and realize what they have instead of what they don't. 

But before we start, let's get one thing straight. This isn't a love story. This isn't a story of struggle and success. It's the story behind the music.
