A tour bus rocks back and forth outside a theater in Boston. Inside: Ray Knox and Erin Kelly go at it.

Midfuck, Ray desperately tries and fails to read a flowery script tattoo on Erin's rib cage. He can't figure it out and it's taken him out of rhythm completely - way more focused on the tattoo than the sex. It's something Erin might notice if she'd had sex at any point in the last 4 years.

Later, wrapped in blankets sharing a beer:

She gets up. Puts on her clothes.

She EXITS. But something about her lingers with Ray. He writes in his notebook. Something he hasn't done in a while. We follow Erin through the parking lot and see Ray's face on every banner outside the Arena. She hangs her head. What am I doing? She calls someone (and leaves a voicemail that we'll hear in full later on.)

SERIES OF SHOTS: Ray's life as a burning-out rock star.

Intercut with a series of one night stands who don't want to get breakfast:

- In the back of an Escalade going through Times Square. Seemingly every screen, billboard, and ad is Ray's face. A cab pulls up with his million dollar smile plastered on the roof ad. It's an ad for Lincoln. He flips himself the bird.

- Phoning it in on stage. Playing the same set for the 1000th time.

- Hot Ones hard hitting questions. Ray cries while eating Da Bomb. Sean asks a question about his mother. He covers his mic and threatens Sean.

A few weeks and a half-dozen arena shows after his fling with Erin. We land in the Tonight Show green room. Where the other guest is his ex-girlfriend. She's happily engaged to a pediatrician she met the day after she broke up with Ray.

Ray is on Fallon promoting his autobiography "Hard Knox." He is charmingly transparent about the fact he did not write the book. Or read it. He asks Jimmy's camera guy to zoom in on the name of the ghost writer: Mark Zwonitser. Ray leads the entire audience in a Mark Zwonitser chant.

In his Penthouse at The Pierre, Ray opens his fridge and recognizes absolutely nothing inside it. As his sister/manager GWEN leads a team meeting of Ray's STAFF (Assistants, Publicists, A&R, Security, etc)

Sensing Ray's teetering sanity, Gwen dismisses the Staff.

She exits to take a call on the BALCONY. Suddenly, Ray's vision goes blurrrrrry. Ears ring. Heart thumps. He has a full-on breakdown. He spots his notebook. When Gwen returns, Ray is gone. So is the whiskey.

Sweating, panicked, Ray gets into a cab outside the hotel.

Ray flips through his notebook. He lands on the page with his notes about Erin.

Ray tosses a stack of cash into the front seat.

The Taxi TV plays a clip of Ray on Fallon talking about why there isn't a new album. It's un-mutable.

The whole crowd laughs. Ray fights back tears but they kick his ass.

The cabbie, VINNY, takes us from the chaotic city through New England. Up the moody drizzling coastline. Past the changing leaves on 1-95. A safe distance past the Boston skyline. Until a sign that welcomes: "Maine: The Way Life Should Be."

Vinny pokes Ray awake – we're here. Ray steps out of the cab, tired and road weary. Camden is tidy and inviting, full of lazy late-afternoon shadows and green lushness fully appreciated by someone freshly arrived from the concrete chaos. He breathes in the icy clean air and it goes down like cold water. Invigorated, he takes his first step... and slips hard on black ice. Yardsale. The Cabbie cackles as he drives away.

Ray walks along the coast. His LV duffel bag and Martin Guitar might as well be an 'I <3 NY' shirt. His Vans squish-squash through puddles as he trods through town. A charming colonial bay. Every single person waves hello to him, he finds this terrifying. He gets pretty tired of saying "Hi" every third step. Slowly he begins to realize no one recognizes him - this town does not care about fame.

Finally he arrives at Eton Road…

Every goddamn house is white with a green door – fuck! So he starts knocking. Every door is another smiling face and another little vignette of small town charm and oddity. He doesn't even know Erin's name.

REVEAL: He's talking to a 95-year-old woman, who knows exactly the tattoo he's talking about. She points him in the right direction. Finally he finds Erin, who answers her door in a bathrobe, stunned.

Ray stares at her blankly – yes. Erin pinches the bridge of her nose. A toilet flushes in the BG.

We hear a child, Erin's son: LUKE (11). Erin steps outside and tells Luke she's gonna talk with her "friend." She tells Ray to stay at a hotel.

Erin explains that there is a little Inn down the road. She'll meet up with him tomorrow. Ray is clearly a little disappointed.

Ray walks to The Inn, dejected. He berates himself for being a fucking idiot who drove all the way here without calling or figuring out if Erin even wanted him to.

A half-charming, half-decrepit cottage-style B&B. The front desk clerk is a younger man, RISH (early 20s) who recognizes Ray and agrees to not to tell anyone he's staying there. Rish mentions how in Notting Hill, Julia Roberts' character always checked in under a cartoon codename. He dubs Ray, Codename: Goku. Ray thinks it's unnecessary: "this ain't The Plaza, and this isn't London. No one's gonna call for me." Rish checks him in under a codename anyway.

LATER: A fully raided mini bar. Ray bawls his eyes out watching Notting Hill.

Erin runs through all the errands they need to get done before picking up Luke from school. Ray is internally realizing he hasn't ever run errands. He's been famous since he was 16.

Ray wonders what happened to the sexy, fun girl he met on tour. Erin expresses to Ray, that she always has to prioritize what's best for her kid over what's fun for her.

SERIES OF ENDEARING BLUNDERS as Ray gets to know the busy life of a single mother, who also happens to be the only breadwinner in the family. Ray asks more about Luke and Erin opens up about her son's social anxieties.

AT THE REGISTER: An endless parade of junk food comes down the conveyor belt at checkout. Ray empties his pockets and trifles through guitar picks, lint, extra-medium condoms, and $1,300 in crumpled up Benjamins. The cashier hands him $1,220 in change.

He notices a stack of hatchet-job gossip rags with his face on the cover - speculating about his disappearance. He buys them all and tosses them in the bin.

They continue to the Hardware Store and Pharmacy. Ray realizes how much day-to-day life he's never had to think about.

At the pharmacy, Ray gets yet another call from Gwen (he's missed dozens.) He steps out and reluctantly talks to her. She presses him: where the fuck are you?

She tells him that she had to cancel the Baltimore show and he's got Philly tonight. He explains he just needed to get away. He's fine, he lies.

Ray pushes back. He can afford it. She clarifies that he can't. The label will drop him, which means no new album. Black balled from ticketmaster and MSG, who own every venue in America.

To top it all off, he's spread himself thin financially. The housing market is shit and he has 7 houses.

Gwen presses Ray – what is he really getting out of this rumspringa?

Ray agrees he won't miss The Garden. He'll be back tomorrow. (Spoiler Alert: He won't be.) She tries to get him to say where he's gone… the internet is speculating that he's in Maine. What the fucks in Maine?

Ray is upset that people even know where he is at all. Fame sucks. This is why he needed the getaway. He doesn't tell his sister about Erin. He hangs up and goes back inside like nothing's wrong in the world.

As they exit their final errand, Erin and Ray pass a stranger walking their dog and smoking a cigarette. Erin rants to Ray:

Erin keeps rolling.

Ray yells loud enough for the whole block to hear:

Ray nods, impressed.

After finally speaking her mind, Erin feels invigorated.

As they walk the MARINA toward home…

Erin does a double-take. We meet her PARENTS, loading up their sailboat with wine and cheese from town before heading home. It's clear they've gotten into the wine. She decides to sail the boat home since they're shitfaced – we get the feeling she does this regularly.

We see Erin's competence in manning the boat. (Possible moment where Ray falls out of the boat and he borrows a set of clothes from Erin's Dad. Maine is not for everyone.)

Erin's parents learn Ray is a singer. Erin's Mom spins a drunken tale about her past life as a dancer. As the boat glides along the coast…

Ray gets a glimpse into a small happy life that he's never had the chance to live. Erin's Dad tells him that they went out on their first date 47 years ago, and it feels like they're still on it.

They have no idea who he is.

They reach Erin's Parent's house, Erin ties a cleat hitch and helps her parents onto the dock.

Ray and Erin take her parents' Subaru and drive the winding coastline back to Erin's house. Erin puts on her Spotify DJ – it's nothing but Millenial Girlie Pop. She apologizes for her "trash" taste in music. Ray dismisses the idea that any genre is better than another. She's surprised when Ray turns up the volume and joins her sing-a-long to Wannabe by Spice Girls.

This is freeing for Ray. By the chorus, they're belting Wannabe as they wind down the coast.

RING RING. They're interrupted over Bluetooth by Erin's ex-husband, TED. He says he can't take Luke this weekend. He'll pick him up on Monday. Erin presses for a reason, but he's dodgy. Ray listens in silently, getting a glimpse of what Erin puts up with.

Ted abruptly hangs up and the music kicks back in, but Erin's mind is elsewhere.

In the school parking lot, Erin brainstorms last-minute babysitter options, as kids file out the front door and find their parents.

Erin jabs Ray as the absolute worst and last option to babysit. But seeing as he's the only one available, and off the great day they've just had, she decides to break her rule and introduce Luke to a guy that won't be around very long. It's clearly a very big deal for her, and not one she's entirely comfortable with.

Luke exits the school. Ray notices him talking to a girl in his class on the way to the car. Erin tells Luke that Ray is a friend in town for the weekend and he's going to watch him while she's at work. Luke is adamant he's old enough to be on his own. Ray is determined to bond with the kid.

Luke is lost in a comic book on the couch. Ray is bored out of his mind and repeatedly tries to start conversations until eventually Ray asks about the girl from the school parking lot. Luke loses his patience and puts down the book.

Ray facetimes Jack Black, who immediately picks up. Ray tells Jack that his friend Luke only opens up to real celebrities so Ray needs JB to ask Luke who his crush is.

Luke laughs so deeply it offends Ray. See, this is a celebrity.

While treating a Newfoundland, Erin overhears or sees new information about Ray from E! News on TV. Her CO-WORKERS (among them, her best friend CLAIRE) speculate about where he is. Then fantasize about what they would do if they were him.

Off Erin's disgusted look–

Erin is overwhelmed, but flattered knowing that Ray isn't doing any of those crazy things. He's just at her place babysitting her kid. A fun secret that eventually becomes an insecurity: that her little life can't possibly be enough for a rockstar.

Erin returns and finds her house is littered with takeout from every restaurant in town. Luke is passed out on a brand new massage chair, softly humming him into the dreamworld. Ray is doing the dishes, poorly.

CUT TO: Erin's backyard (which is now 50% Jacuzzi). They soak in the hot tub under the stars as Erin sips champagne and munches her Whopper.

Ray hands her a glass of champagne.

Erin takes a sip and another huge bite of her Whopper.

Erin listens intently, tries to minimize the iconic crunch of a Burger King pickle.

Ray nods and drinks straight from a bottle of champagne – correct.

LATER INSIDE: Dripping wet tip toeing like high schoolers sneaking back in after curfew.

Ray follows Erin upstairs and they dry off in her bedroom. We feel the pull between them. She invites him to stay the night. As tempting as it is, he goes back to The Inn, for reasons perhaps even unknown to Ray. We stay with Erin for a moment. Smiles to herself. This might be something.

LATER: Back at The Inn, Ray gets to his room and looks at his guitar in the corner. A crackle of flame.

The NEXT MORNING, a motorcycle pulls up to The Inn. A man approaches Rish at the desk.. The paparazzi found Ray!

Rish stares blankly. The Pap slides a few hundred bucks across the desk.

Rish stares blankly. More money.

The Paparazzo nods. Hops on his bike and leaves town. Ray comes downstairs. Rish says he enjoyed Ray's playing last night. Lots of noise complaints from other guests but he told them to shove it.

The town (mostly Rish) is protecting Ray even if he doesn't realize it.

Our trio drives to Luke's Speech & Debate competition. A familiar, family-like shot.

Luke looks out the window and opens up about his crush, something he's never done in front of his mom.

LATER AT SCHOOL: In the back rows of the audience at Luke's Speech and Debate tournament, MOMS grill Erin about Ray. Meanwhile, Ray is way too invested in the tournament. After Luke drops a hammer about the looming Namibian water crisis and its impact on South African trade, Ray high-fives DADS like it's Game 7 of the World Series.

Louise offers Luke a hug and he shakes her hand. He's aces at Public Speaking, but still working on Private Speaking. POST DEBATE: Louise invites Luke to a party she's having that night. Gulp.

Luke gets ready for his first party with Ray and Erin helping. He affixes a clip-on bowtie.

Off Erin's look… What??

Luke is relieved that he's not the only confused man in the world. Erin is endeared by Ray's sincerity.

Ray sees again the woman who inspired him to come here. HONK HONK. Luke's ride is here.

Ray eyes his phone – he's missed hundreds of calls and texts. Gwen is LIVID. He's supposed to be at The Garden and he's fucking missing it. He turns off his phone. He smiles at Erin and mentions that "the fellas are having a party later."

Erin tells Ray she's too anxious about Luke to go to a party. Ray explains that's exactly why they should go. It'll get her mind off Luke. Plus, Ray hasn't been to a normal house party in decades.

Erin begrudgingly agrees to go but WAITS til they're at the doorstep of the house party to explain in rapid-fire:

1. Her ex-husband is here.

2. He's obsessed with Ray's music.

3. He Blueprinted* her at a party in high school. To be honest, it ruined Ray's music for her.

4. To be even more honest, that's probably why she fucked Ray, to get back at him.

5. And to be maximum honest, it's why she had no intention of ever seeing Ray again.

*NOTE: "Blueprinting" is when a guy sits a girl down and serenades her without consent by playing Ray's hit song Blueprints. See Also: Wonderwall by Oasis and the equivalent: "Getting Wonderwalled."

The door swings open.

Erin's friends play it cool with Ray as best they can, with varying degrees of success. Ray asks Erin which guy is her ex, she points out Ted.

LATER: Ray with the GUYS. Erin with the GALS.

Erin brushes off their excitement, he's only in town a few days.

Nitro Puppy asks Ray to rank all the celebrities he's seen naked. Ray disappoints them by exclusively ranking men: "Number one with a bullet: Conan O'Brien. Number 2: Henry Cavill. Uhh who else, I play tennis with Morgan Freeman and he never wears underwear."

Ted presses Ray to play something later on the Baby Grand.

LATER: Erin gets some beers from the fridge. Ted tries to strike up conversation.

Ray clocks this conversation, but can't hear it.

Erin blows Ted off and heads to the backyard where Ray was watching. Erin remembers she bummed a cigarette off the dog-guy. Fuck yes. She and Ray share a cheeky smoke. She exhales into his mouth. As close to kissing as you can come. The foreplay sizzles.

Ray puts the cigarette out on his tongue. Flicks it.

Erin has the weirdest lady-boner of her life.

LATER: Everyone stands around Ray, seated at a Roland Baby Grand. Ray feigns humility. But he lives for this shit. As he noodles on the piano,

Ray pirouettes into a lil' storytime about the song Blueprints...

Ted realizes this is aimed at him. He tries to laugh off his embarrassment. He squeezes his arm around Suchin.

He takes a moment and laughs to himself and looks at Erin.

Erin and her friends freak out as Ray kicks into a piano ballad cover of Spice Girls' Wannabe.

AFTER THE PARTY: Drunk Erin and Ray wait outside for their cab. The same New York Cab that drove Ray to Camden pulls up.

Vinny grabs a hot dog from his glove compartment and drives them home. Erin and Ray have a sweet moment in the back of the cab that is swiftly interrupted by the Jimmy Fallon/Ray Knox clip from EARLIER.

Ray shakes a cocktail mixer. Mid-sentence, spontaneously yet inevitably, Erin kisses him. Deeply. Softly.

She tells him to finish making the drinks and to meet her upstairs in 5 minutes.

Ray is pouring the drinks when Luke enters, distraught.

CUT TO ERIN: She's getting herself dolled up, then waiting… waiting… waiting… where the fuck is he? She sneaks to the stairs, then hears them. She sits halfway down the stairs and eavesdrops:

We learn Luke was rejected at the party. He did exactly what Ray said, but he had a little too much fun:

Ray offers Luke a beer. We see Erin's silent wtf reaction. Luke politely declines.

Luke collapses on the massage chair, defeated.

Ray sits down next to Luke, both humming in side by side massage chairs.

We see Erin wipe a tear and smile.

They fist bump.

After their talk Luke heads upstairs to crash. Erin scrambles back to her room to not be seen.

Ray enters with Spritzes and covers for Luke with a fake excuse:

Erin cuts him off with a kiss and they fall into bed.

In the morning, Ray watches her sleep for a moment. He sits up. It's early. Like really early. Morning sunlight reaches across the water. Through a purple cloud. The last autumn leaf falls. He stares back, then at Erin – is the little life he's been looking for?

Erin stirs awake. They both feel that this is more than they ever expected. Erin slips into the shower. As the door closes, we see she's giddy with love - hoping he feels the same.

The doorbell rings, Ray answers. It's Ted. There to pick up Luke for the week. He tries to pressure Ray to leave town. Ray pushes back.

But then, Ted plays a voicemail from Erin (one an astute viewer would recognize as the message she left after sleeping with Ray in our opener.) He intentionally misleads Ray to believe Erin left him the message last night, after the party. Ray wonders if perhaps she left it when he was downstairs talking to Luke.

Ted emphasizes that Erin was just having her fun with Ray, just like he's having his fun with Suchin:

Ted's tone is pleasure soaked in acid.

Luke runs up, passes Ray, and hugs his dad.

Erin gets out of the shower. Ray is packing his bag. Ray's wall is up higher than it's ever been. He says this was a mistake. He's leaving to "do what's best for Luke."

He walks out leaving Erin devastated, blindsided.

SERIES OF SHOTS: ERIN & RAY LOWPOINTS

WITH ERIN AT WORK: She looks back thinking their connection was all a lie. She was just a fling to Ray. Her co-workers try to comfort her in the worst way possible. Claire tries to spin it positive.

AT GWEN'S BROOKLYN TOWNHOUSE WITH RAY:

He's crashing at his sister's house. Snoring with a half-empty beer can. He looks like Fat Thor.

Gwen notices Ray has been reading his "autobiography" he promoted on Fallon. She picks up the book.

Ray finds a beer can under his pillow and cracks it. Gwen tells him it's been months and she can't be his sister and manager anymore. And says that she's just going to be his sister now. And as a sister, she's worried about him. She makes him promise to do something today. Even if it's just one load of laundry, or just brushing his teeth. Or playing 2 fucking notes on his guitar.

Ray sets his beer down, stirred. He'll do laundry, but he draws the line at folding.

OVER THE REST OF THE MONTAGE: We finally hear Ray's song Blueprints...

WITH ERIN IN CAMDEN:

Erin, Ted and Luke at a family dinner. It's nice. Weirdly nice. Erin sees Luke happy within their family. This is good for Luke. Even if it's not for Erin. But that's the sacrifice parents have to make sometimes.

WITH RAY:

Gwen and Ray talk about his time in Camden with Erin.

WITH LUKE:

Ted and Luke in the jacuzzi, tossing raisinettes into each other's mouths. Luke catches Erin looking out the kitchen window. She smiles at him. He can sense his Mom's sadness despite her facade.

WITH RAY:

Ray locked in, figuring out chords, crossing out lyrics and rewriting them. Gwen brings him a mug of tea.

Gwen tells Ray they locked in a make-up date on his cancelled show at MSG. His team has announced the show on social media and we see a flurry of excitement (but even more criticism.)

Before going on stage, Erin tries to give Luke a pump up speech. Luke turns the tables and instead pumps up his mom. "I'm fine, I know I'm fine." He then tells his mom that he's noticed she isn't happy. And if Ray is gonna make her happy, she needs to get him back. He'll be okay. Erin says she's focused on doing what's best for Luke.

LATER DURING THE TOURNAMENT: The theme and lesson of Luke's speech is centered on a piece of advice from Ray. Erin shakes her head.

WITH TED AND ERIN IN THE CROWD:

Luke wins the tournament. We mirror the moment from earlier when Louise tried to hug him. Except this time Luke embraces her back. She kisses him on the cheek and runs away. Luke lights up. Erin sees a confidence in her son she couldn't have imagined.

This sits with Erin. She realizes that Ted must have spoken to Ray that morning. That he convinced Ray to run off. Ted admits he played the voicemail for him, but that he did it for the right reasons, for their family. Erin is livid. She looks to Luke. He smiles at her, holds up the trophy and turns back to Louise.

Erin EXITS, leaving Ted alone.

OUTSIDE: Erin calls an Uber. It's Vinny. She hops in:

We land on stage with Ray as he finishes Blueprints.

The roar of 20,000 fans swells beyond the walls as Ray exits the stage. Sweaty, spent, gave it his all. Gwen gives him a hug.

Ray takes a long breath. The house lights dim. He looks at Gwen. Nods, and steps out into the light.

Erin finally arrives just after Ray strode onto stage — breathless, wide-eyed, late as fuck, but she made it. She stands beside Gwen backstage.

Ray starts to play. He looks stage-left and spots Erin. He's stunned to see her. The crowd pulls him back. Over the opening chords:

Shouts and murmurs from the crowd as they realize what's happening.

The crowd is silent — the good kind of silent. He kicks into his final song: It's "White House With A Green Door." Soft, simple, raw. The kind of song you'd swear you've always known but can't place.

Lyrics (partial):

I had a map that led to nowhere,
Till I threw it on the floor.
Found a road that ends in laughter,
And a little white house with a green door.

I don't need lights, I don't need praise,
Just a voice that knows my name.
If art's what's left when fame decays,
Then love's the part that stays the same.

Ray finishes the last chorus. Lets it hang. He strides, now sprints off-stage and kisses Erin.

FADE TO BLACK. THEN:

Erin wakes up. Puts on her robe. Heads downstairs. Luke is watching cartoons. Ray is making breakfast. Hands her a cup of coffee and she sits down next to Luke – bliss.

There's a Christmas tree up and snow outside. A warm fire crackles. Ray picks up his guitar and sits on the other side of Luke.

He launches into Wonderwall. Erin hops off the couch and runs upstairs as Ray chases her.

The camera drifts back through the open doorway — the green door — as laughter echoes inside. The sound of seagulls. A breeze through the pine trees as we Wonderwall the audience over the credits.
