In her pursuit of rediscovering her hometown, she meets Robbie (Marcus Rosner). Soon one thing leads to another and the two fall in love. As the storm ends, it's time for Laney to head to NYC. Will she leave her newfound love behind and go to her concert? Or will she give up on one dream for another?
