Ava, a young goth girl, found solace in the melancholic melodies of The Cure, Depeche Mode, and The Misfits. Despite her parents' wealth and status as millionaires, they struggled to accept their daughter's unconventional style and interests.

Ava's passion for music had led her to form a band with her boyfriend, Danny, another fellow goth. They poured their hearts into their performances, dreaming of a future where Ava could pursue her musical aspirations. However, her parents had different plans, insisting that she attend the prestigious Stanford School and abandon her rebellious ways.

Determined to persuade Ava, her parents hatched a plan. They hired an actor to pose as a "preppy" student, tasked with befriending Ava and convincing her to embrace a more conventional lifestyle. Ava, though initially skeptical, found herself drawn to the actor's charm and kindness. As they spent more time together, she began to see the world through a different lens, questioning her own preconceptions.

Unbeknownst to Ava, her parents had also discovered that Danny, her boyfriend, was also a student at Stanford. This revelation shattered their plan, as they realized that their daughter's happiness and true self-expression were more important than their own expectations. Ava's parents finally acknowledged their mistake and embraced their daughter for who she was, supporting her dream of a music career.

With her parents' newfound acceptance, Ava found the courage to pursue her passion. She began performing at Darla's Diner, a local hangout for the goth community, captivating the audience with her powerful vocals and raw emotion. As her parents watched, they witnessed the transformation of their once-rebellious daughter into a confident and talented musician, realizing that true happiness lies in embracing one's authentic self.
