Best friends Jordan Wilder and Leigh Blackhouse, portrayed by Abby Quinn and Alexxis Lemire respectively, are a country music duo known as Torn Hearts, performing in a Nashville club.

Richie hopes to secure an opportunity for them to open on Caleb’s upcoming tour, paving the way for their big break.
However, complications arise when Jordan finds herself spending the night with Caleb, leading to a passionate one-night stand. During this encounter, she notices a striking photograph of Caleb with the enigmatic country music icon Harper Dutch (portrayed by Katey Sagal), who has withdrawn from the spotlight following the tragic death of her sister Hope.

Despite Caleb’s warnings about Harper’s peculiar nature, Jordan becomes determined to reach out to her, believing that a collaboration could be their ticket to success.
After obtaining Harper’s address from Caleb, Jordan persuades Leigh that meeting Harper might be the breakthrough they have been waiting for. Their visit leads them to a dilapidated mansion deep in a remote area, where they encounter the reclusive Harper. an intriguing dynamic develops over the course of their discussions, as Harper begins to reflect on her past, seeing a resemblance between Jordan and her own sister, Hope, mirroring the deep bond Jordan shares with Leigh.

As the night progresses, Jordan and Leigh find themselves in a disconcerting situation, awakening to discover they are clothed in vintage Dutchess Sisters attire.

As Harper pushes the friends further apart by exploiting their differing views on Leigh’s relationship with Richie, she encourages a confrontation that results in the two women fighting each other, intensifying the rift between them.
As the night unfolds, Richie arrives at the mansion searching for the duo, only for Harper to capture Jordan, locking her away in the basement.
