When budding country singer Y/n goes rogue during her Grand Ole Opry debut, she trades her label-approved setlist for a haunting acoustic ballad about two childhood birds who drifted apart. To the weeping crowd, it’s a bittersweet Southern fable, but to Cody Rhodes, it’s a devastating gut-punch. Every lyric painstakingly retraces the Georgia creek bed of their youth, exposing the deep love Y/n has carried for him all along. Forced to play it cool backstage alongside his date, Cody manages a warm congratulations, but lying awake in the quiet hours of the night, the guilt sets in as he realizes his fear of distance and his chaotic life on the road made him walk away from the only person he ever truly wanted
