The band has taken a break and each member is trying to do their own individual projects. Guitar player Matt Reed takes on the project of performing in a play which does not turn out as he anticipates.

When you add those issues with the painful memory of her time with Matt you will understand why she is cautious. Matt understands her cautions and has to convince her to give him another chance. Matt also has some family issues that he has never shared with anyone. Viv helps Matt to open up and share the story of his painful past.
