The episode begins with Nathan receiving a call from his sister, informing him of his father's passing. Unsure of how to handle the situation, Nathan seeks the advice of his bandmates.
As the news of Nathan's loss begins to spread, the band is approached by a record label executive who suggests they use the tragedy to their advantage by turning it into a publicity stunt. The idea is met with outrage by the band, who see it as a disrespectful way to exploit Nathan's grief.
Meanwhile, Nathan's bandmates Skwisgaar and Toki try to comfort him in their own unique ways. Skwisgaar offers to take Nathan hunting, while Toki suggests they spend the day playing video games. Despite their efforts, Nathan is unable to find solace in any of their suggestions.
In an attempt to help, the band's manager, Charles, suggests they perform a song at Nathan's father's funeral as a tribute. Initially hesitant, Nathan eventually agrees and the band sets out to rehearse a touching and emotional tribute to his father.
