But as luck would have it, she finds herself stuck in a snowstorm in her hometown. The more time she spends, Laney realizes that the town that she was once unkind to her is actually a warm, loving community of lovely people.

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?
