On the other hand, Mia, an incurable romantic mesmerised by the allure of the old Hollywood, is consumed between meaningless auditions. Of course, Sebastian, a purist with an undiluted taste in music, has a serious plan for the future. Jammed in a wide stretch of highway in sun-kissed Los Angeles, the morning commuters-Sebastian, a suavely charming jazz pianist whom life's got him on the ropes, and Mia, a brilliant playwright waiting for her big break-are off to a bad start. And any compromise each may make in getting ahead may change the person with whom each has fallen in love. The pursuit of their individual dreams may take all their energies with nothing left for their relationship. They may be able to endure the struggling-artist life for so long before those struggles take their toll. But there are many obstacles to a happily-ever-after. But they eventually become attracted to each other largely because of the passion for their dreams that they see in each other. Partly because of their individual struggles and partly because of the situations, their first few chance meetings are antagonistic. He dreams of opening his own jazz club, most specifically in what used to be a famous jazz club that has since been converted to a tapas-bar-cum-salsa-dance-club.

He has trouble emotionally playing music he doesn't like just to get a paying gig. He wants to do his part to preserve that tradition, especially as he knows that that style of music is dying. Sebastian is a jazz pianist, his style of jazz in the vein of traditionalists Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk. She is enamored with old-tome Hollywood - the movies she grew up on - but hates the cattle-herding feeling of going on auditions and her belief that she needs to schmooze at social events to get ahead in the business. Mia is an actress who dropped out of college and moved from small-town Nevada five years ago to pursue her dream. In Hollywood, Mia and Sebastian are struggling to make it in their respective respective careers, about which each has extreme passion.
