: As a talented clarinetist, Jal is preparing for a prestigious conservatoire audition. Her father, a successful musician himself, ignores her pregnancy reveal and instead demands she focus on her "papers" and practice for the audition.

: While Jal is worried about her future, Chris is hiding a life-threatening medical condition. He has a hereditary blood clot on the brain—the same condition that killed his brother.
