, shows the boys in an asylum. The viewer gets to see each man's torment as he remembers the girl who put him there. Each *NSYNCer came up with his own storyline.

Timberlake's flashback shows him trying to give a necklace to a girl, but she returns it and leaves and embraces another guy.

. Lance Bass reminisces to a scene where he is plucking the petals off a flower. His girlfriend sidles up to him, pulls a few petals off, but then leaves him. Joey Fatone is with his girlfriend, when another girl walks by and kisses him. His girlfriend slaps him and then leaves. In the asylum, Fatone continually slaps himself in the face with a flyswatter.
