A young woman named Erin and a man named Garrett meet in New York City and embark on a passionate summer fling. Both are fully aware that Erin must return to San Francisco at the end of the summer to finish her journalism degree, and Garrett is tied to his job in the music industry in New York. Despite their initial agreement to keep things casual, they soon find themselves deeply connected and decide to maintain their relationship long-distance after Erin's departure. Their bond is tested by the challenges of distance, time differences, and the inherent difficulties of sustaining a romantic relationship through phone calls and occasional visits.

As they navigate their separate lives, Erin struggles to find stable employment in San Francisco, and Garrett grapples with his stagnating career in New York. Both face pressure from friends and family to move on and find someone local, but their feelings for each other persist. The couple must confront the obstacles that distance places in their path and decide whether their love is strong enough to withstand the difficulties or if it’s time to let go and move on.
