Justin missed a lot while living his fast paced life. He missed seeing his half-brothers grow up. He missed seeing his mother’s smiling face every day. He missed being normal. But the one thing he missed the most was always by his side, he just didn’t know it. It’ll take a wise-ass childhood friend, an all-knowing band mate, and a meddling cousin to make him realize what he’s been missing all along and what’s waiting for him back in Tennessee.

Trace always knew that there was a bigger world outside of Tennessee but he's never had the chance to venture out and experience it himself. Being Justin Timberlake's best friend has its perks but it also has its downsides, the latter of which he has grown accustomed to. He wants to take a chance—take a risk—in the real world but the ties he has to his home are so strong that he can't ignore them anymore.
