Recovering from the surprising, sudden, and public court case win against the group’s creator, it looks like the boy band has everything going for them. With a new manager, new music, a new live band member in the form of his old friend, and new lives free from the master puppet Lou Pearlman, the only way they can go is up. With his puppet strings clipped, Lance takes the time to learn about himself, and learn what it means to be a friend with no strings holding him back. Except for maybe one.

Annaleigh ‘Ace’ Carr: Smart, feisty, witty, sometimes scatterbrained, perfectionist; all the things that make up a hard working bass player. It was all the attributes that caught the attention of *NSYNC with the intention of hiring her as the new bass player for their live band. The last thing she was expecting was to reunite with her “estranged” friend, Lance Bass. They haven’t spoken since he left Mississippi to join the band and was caught up in the whirlwind of fame and fortune as it took him all over the world. But she is (reluctantly) willing to rebuild their friendship for this opportunity. She’s used to being in the background, following in Lance’s footsteps, but with her job on the line, she has to learn how to put herself in the forefront and deal with secrets that will shake her foundation to the core
