Ted is an old man remembering his life from the pages of his old diaries, while Ryan is a young man writing a letter to his mother that recalls his life so far. Their seemingly unrelated stories begin to unravel, with both being irreversibly changed by the appearance and unexpected disappearance of the same mysterious girl. Ted's kindly patience and Ryan's untameable wildness eventually send them down very different paths as their loss gradually engulfs them, until they are finally able to make their peace.From quiet beginnings to a dramatic end, the powerful pull of teenage love and its lasting impact is drawn out through two distinct yet fundamentally similar sets of eyes and lives.
