Entonces se muda con su tío, quien dirige un sello discográfico cuyo mayor éxito, el grupo femenino Sensation, se convierte también en el mayor dolor de cabeza para Elle. A su sentimiento de culpa, causado por el hecho de que sus padres se dirigían a una de sus actuaciones cuando murieron, se une la frustración por el ambiente pop que la rodea, muy diferente de las raíces country a las que ella estaba acostumbrada. Pero cuando conoce a Ty Parker, un famoso cantante pop en busca de un sonido “auténtico”, Elle recupera la ilusión por cantar y componer y no tarda en surgir entre ellos una sintonía repleta de música y pasión.
