She usually performs with her string quartet, who are all far too accustomed to being flies on the wall at private parties, weddings, funerals, and whatever else pays money. But when her toxic ex-boyfriend reappears, who also happens to be the Philharmonic's "newest, hottest cellist," he informs her of a viola opening in the prestigious orchestra. She decides to audition, but her preparation gets quickly sidetracked by a rapidly extinguishing fire of ambition and an inappropriate relationship.
