Tony Bellano who is signed to the same record label would rather mock Luke than befriend him. <strong>Luke had hoped that Bellano would appreciate a fan but Bellano instead feels threatened by the competition</strong>. A battle of the bands ensues; Bellano will stop at nothing to sabotage Luke even if that means destroying a friendship and a marriage. As Luke grapples with his past insecurities Ryan after a near tragedy battles his nicotine addiction and Samantha faces the consequences of her materialistic impulses. <strong>Luke's faith and loyalty are challenged to the point where he must either confront Bellano or lose himself and his passion for the music that fuels his identity. </strong></p><p><br></p><p> </p>
