But in a small town like Maycomb a girl like Lia doesnt go unnoticed.Matts old friends make jokes about the way Lia dresses her hair even her darker skin. As a correctional officer Matts father has already run into Lias mother at the jail.

Having found the courage to follow his heart instead of his friends Matt realizes that somewhere along the way he became the Matt Crosby Lia saw all along.
