Mackenzie had lived a rough childhood, but finally escaped to Huntington Beach, California with her mother from her verbally and physically abusive father. There, at the age of 12, she met her best friend James Owen Sullivan -- Jimmy, for short -- then, later on, she met Brian Haner Jr. and Matt Sanders. The three boys helped her forget about her horrible past and taught her to love and forgive. Even though, Mackenzie's feelings for Jimmy grew, she kept them hidden as to not ruin their friendship. But when they decide to go on tour and take Valary DiBenedetto (Matt's girlfriend) instead of her, she was completely hurt and felt absolutely rejected. She had been there for them for the start; helping them get the money they needed to do shows and pay for new equipment. While on tour, she stopped texting them and distanced herself. She made herself believe that everyone that says hello, will eventually say goodbye. But then when her father returns, she needs them more than ever, but they're still on tour. Now, Mackenzie became a drug addict and an alcoholic to escape her reality and to forget about her problems. But when the boys return, they try to set her back on the right track before she completely destroys herself.
