Zoe, a college student steadily navigating her academic journey, never expected a spontaneous night out to reshape her view of her favorite band. When her best friend convinced her to attend a rock concert, Zoe eagerly agreed, excited to see Dead Angels perform live. But the night took an unexpected turn. After the show, she had the chance to meet the band—an encounter that shattered her long-held admiration. The lead singer, Sean McKnight, whom she had idolized for years, turned out to be an arrogant, self-absorbed jerk.

Disillusioned and disappointed, Zoe made a firm decision: she would never listen to Dead Angels again, nor would she attend any of their concerts. Her vow wasn't just about the music—it was about avoiding Sean McKnight at all costs.

But fate, as always, had other plans.

Not long after, Zoe found herself at a frat party with her friend Sara, hosted by Michael—a classmate she knew casually. The night was going well until an all-too-familiar face appeared. To her utter dismay, Sean McKnight was there. As it turned out, Michael wasn't just a classmate—he was Sean's cousin.

Heart pounding, Zoe chose to play it cool. She pretended not to recognize him, assuming there was no way he'd remember a random fan from a backstage meet-and-greet. Why would he?, she thought bitterly, sarcasm lacing every word in her mind.

But life, as Zoe was quickly learning, rarely follows a predictable setlist.
