It's been three years since Brian Royland was dared to take Iris Newman to the prom. They've managed to keep a strong long-distance relationship even while balancing college classes and jobs.

Around the same time of Brian's impromptu marriage proposal, William Lexington comes back into Iris' life with an opportunity to go on tour with a well-known rock band. There's only one condition; he has to be reinstated as Angst's bass guitarist. Iris can't deny that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if she does have her reservations. So, with Brian's blessing, she puts their engagement on hold to fulfill her dream.

While the band's on the road, discovering things about each other that they never wanted to know, the drama in Brian's life escalates. Not only is he dealing with a competitive coworker, a biased boss, and a roommate who just can't seem to take no for an answer, but then his long-lost mother decides she wants to fight for custody of Leah after all. Brian and Iris' phone conversations get shorter the more time passes and the distance only grows wider. Things quickly spin out of control, to the point where both Brian and Iris start to wonder if their love is strong enough to withstand the new miles and obstacles that separate them.
