Plot Overview

Seventeen-year-old Julie Clarke has her future all planned out: move out of her small town with her boyfriend, Sam; attend college in the city; and spend a summer in Japan. But then Sam tragically dies, and everything changes.

Heartbroken, Julie reacts by skipping his funeral, throwing out his belongings, and trying everything to forget him. But a message Sam left behind in her yearbook forces memories to return. Desperate to hear his voice one more time, Julie calls Sam's cell phone just to listen to his voice mail recording. And Sam picks up the phone.

The connection is temporary, but hearing Sam's voice makes Julie fall for him all over again. With each call, it becomes harder for her to let him go. What would you do if you had a second chance at goodbye?
