Mimi's musical friend group is coping with her sudden death from a car crash. Her best friend has agreed to have a party in her honor at the request of Mimi's boyfriend, Ashe, who was also in the car during the crash. Ashe's idea is to rent a trolley and visit multiple pawn shops in the hopes that they can find a fiddle, the instrument that Mimi played, and playing it for her as tribute. Miraculously, Ashe happens upon a fiddle in one of the shops, and asks the best friend to play a piece he'd written for Mimi. Immediately when the friend receives the fiddle, she recognizes that it is Mimi's fiddle, and that Ashe has kept this detail secret from them so that he can relish in his own private tribute to her. She plays the piece for the group with ferocity, furious at Ashe keeping this secret. She is openly angry at Ashe, though she refuses to tell the group what she knows, shocked that they themselves hadn't recognized the instrument. She decides to leave the group with her boyfriend, Bo, telling him what Ashe had done and they get pizza. Before leaving, Bo shares a few words with Ashe that she doesn't hear. At the pizza place, she is trying to distract herself from her anger, but a woman with her child is eying her down, irritating her more. The child is trying to tell his mother something, and asks her a silly question, to which she responds with a ferocious slap. Mimi's best friend approaches the woman, angry that the helpless child can't resist or fight, and slaps the mother twice. Bo quickly is up, separating them, and the mother slaps her son again. The friend is angry, wanting to retaliate by slapping her again, but she knows that any attempts to help will be futile, because the mother will only take the anger out on her child later on, when no one will be there to help, so she goes. Weeks later, the best friend is still angry about Mimi's death and Ashe's tribute, now coming to recognize the anger that fuels her music.
