Once in overwhelming L.A., Terri's hipper and more sophisticated classmates make her feel like an uncool country mouse. But her mother (Rita Wilson) and look-alike aunt Nina (Rebecca De Mornay) convince her that Paul would want her to go so Terri reluctantly lies to her dad and Nina covers for her, saying that Terri will be staying with her for a month. Reeling from the death of her only brother, Terri loses interest in life and ignores her acceptance letter from Bristol-Hillman. Later that night, the siblings sneak out of the house to go to a concert a car accident on the way home has tragic consequences. So without Terri's knowledge he sends the conservatory a DVD of some of her impromptu performances. But her unbelievably supportive brother, Paul (Jason Ritter), himself a recent high-school graduate who plans to get out of town as quickly as he can, hopes that his dutiful sister will break a few rules and live up to her potential. Her father (David Keith), a restaurant owner, stubbornly refuses to entertain the idea and forbids Terri to even think about going to the decadent big city, where she'll surely get into trouble. The Flagstaff, Ariz., teenager knows she has to work hard if she hopes to achieve her goal of becoming a big-time professional singer and, in the more immediate future, earn a spot in the coveted summer music program at Bristol-Hillman Conservatory in Los Angeles. On the last day of school, excited, 16-year-old Terri (Duff) just might be the only person anxious to spend her summer continuing to study with her choir teacher.
