Plot:
Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Tybee Island, Georgia. She hates her father, but then again, what so called family wouldn’t lost its bond. Three years after, her mother decides to let her and her li’l bro, Jonah to their father house to spend their summer. Steve, her father, felt happy as he has the chance to reconnect with his estranged daughter. Steve, a former Juilliard School professor and concert pianist, lives a quiet life in Tybee Island, the small beach town in Georgia where he grew up, working on a stained glass window for the local church to replace the one the church lost in a fire. According to the locals, it was Steve who had set fire to the church one night.
After arrival, Ronnie becomes miserable, defiant, and defensive toward all those around her. Including handsome, popular Will Blakelee whose introduction involved crashing into her during a volleyball match, and accidentally spilling Ronnie's strawberry shake on her. She shrugs him off and meets Blaze, an outcast who lives with her boyfriend Marcus. While at a beach campfire, Marcus hits on Ronnie and Blaze mistaken this for Ronnie flirting with him. Angered by this, Blaze sets Ronnie up by putting a bracelet in Ronnie's bag. Just as Ronnie walks out she is promptly arrested, which reminded her of an incident that occurred back home. Later on, Ronnie discovers a Loggerhead Sea Turtle nest at the beach by her house and while protecting it, she meets Will again on his volunteer work for the aquarium. After a night of staying up to defend the turtles with Will, she discovers he is deeper than she believed, and begins to have feelings for him.
As Ronnie falls in love with Will, she also manages to form a better and stronger bond with her father. As their relationship deepens, Will invites her to his sister's wedding. Later that day, the turtle eggs hatch and her father collapses with a coughing seizure that evening. Ronnie immediately has Steve rushed to a hospital and realizes that he had been diagnosed with cancer long before her summer visit (in a prior scene, he reveals having been on a medication and possibly setting fire to the church) and why her parents' marriage has fallen apart. She decides to start spending more time with her father since he is unlikely to survive any longer.
Around the same time, Ronnie and Will get into a confrontation because Will confessed that Scott—his bestfriend—had actually set fire to the church, but he had never confessed. Ronnie was upset, really upset, that she broke up with him. With Will now leaving for college, there is no time to patch things up. She continues working on his father’s piece of music (titled "For Ronnie"), finishing what her father could not (because of his disease). When she finally plays the last chord, she looks up to see that Steve had died while listening to her play and is heartbroken.
