She joins him and his band on tour to help out as a roadie and looks forward to spending time with him. She hopes playing the guitar together and learning to play his hit-song: Cold Blooded Woman will help build a better relationship. On stage Bill is charming, but getting close to Bill is not what she expected as she discovers the true meaning behind his music.
