Tom and the guys attend Carmine Moretti's, the owner of their favorite pizza place, funeral when Tom finds that Carmine's son Ray is an amazing singer and could be a star. But since Ray must now support his family and take over his father's business, Tom must convince Ray not to squander his talent and convince Jeff that Ray has more potential for greatness than the artist Julia wants to respresent. Meanwhile, when Shooter and Mike are mugged, they are both forced to deal with the situation in their own way.

Tom gets the chance to buy the catalogue of a singer who cracked under the pressure of the music business years ago and never completed his long-awaited sophomore album.
