Dean Petro has gotten out of a long, hard break with his longtime band, The Golden Kings. After trying to come to terms with a new record deal, he literally runs into his future girlfriend and muse as she leaves a restaurant near the Hollywood Bowl.

The Golden Kings, a group of musicians thought to be the greatest since Coldplay, has a distinct reputation for practically disowning their bass player on stage. Dean, following Tony's short bass tenure for the group, has gotten tired of being taken advantage of. After almost going crazy over his decision and literally falling over his new love, he tells new producer Mr. Wisely he will stop his contract with the old group and form a duo with his girlfriend, Destiny, and share a life of romance and music together.

Destiny responds by giving Dean hugs and kisses and a great breakfast to get his day off to a great start. He then accepts Mr. Wisely's contract as the songs for his long-awaited first album flow through him nonstop. His efforts, combined with that of his larger-than-life girlfriend who sings like an angel, make the first real love dialogue music album since John and Yoko's Double Fantasy release.
