The conversation revolves around Zoe, a small-town girl from Iowa who becomes infatuated with Dylan, the lead singer of the popular band the Star Boys. Dylan, however, is not the real lead singer but an actor hired by Nico, the band's songwriter, to take his place. This revelation comes when Nico confesses to Zoe, who had been trying to win Dylan's attention.
Zoe initially struggles with the truth and is devastated, but eventually, she decides to confront Nico about the lies. She tries to find Nico at the band's hotel in California, but he's already left. She then returns home to find Nico waiting for her, explaining that he was under the protection of his father's bodyguards. Nico admits his lies were driven by his desire for popularity and fame, which he found overwhelming.
Despite this, Nico admits that he likes Zoe and wishes he could have been honest with her from the start. Zoe, on the other hand, expresses that she likes Nico too and wishes he had told her the truth. The conversation ends with Nico suggesting they find out if their feelings are mutual through a kiss.
