The movie begins by showing a good-looking high school boy, Landon Carter, infiltrating a lake
with his friends. He was among the most popular students at his school but often made trouble
and got along with naughty students. That night, Landon and his friends intended to prank Clay,
the boy who wanted to join their gang. They gave Clay the conditions to pass a test of
courage to get him into their group. Clay would automatically enter their gang if he could pass
the gut test well. However, if he failed, he had to stay away from them. Landon challenged
Clay to climb a very high tower and jump from the top to plunge into the lake. Landon told
Clay that he would jump with him. It turned out that he was only pretending to jump while Clay
was plunging into the lake. But unexpectedly, Clay fell unconscious in the water. Everyone panicked,
and the situation became more chaotic when police officers discovered their whereabouts and intended
to arrest them. Landon and his friends decided to flee the place. Unfortunately, he couldn't
escape the police chase because his car hit the fence and slipped into the river. Consequently,
he was caught by police officers and had to be rushed to the hospital to treat his injured leg.
The next day, Landon's mother, Cyntia, found out about the problem and immediately scolded Landon,
which was very difficult to manage. Fed up with Landon's selfish attitude, Cyntia intended to
call her ex-husband. She wanted to hand Landon over to him. She felt that she had failed to
educate Landon and could no longer care for him, who continued to be troubled. But Landon begged
her not to contact his father, who was currently married and starting a new life with someone else.
On Sunday, Cyntia took Landon to church, hoping that he would turn out to be a better young man.
At the church, Landon saw one of the choir girls, Jamie Elizabeth, secretly staring at him. Landon's
ex-girlfriend, who happened to be there, also realized it. She was jealous and disliked Jamie,
who secretly stole a glance at Landon. The next day Landon and Belinda were hanging out with their
friends at school. Belinda accidentally saw Jamie, whom she had met the other day. Seeing Jamie's
old-fashioned and tacky appearance, Belinda tried to mock Jamie's appearance with a sarcastic joke.
But Jamie, who was too innocent, took the mockery as a compliment. She thanked Belinda and returned
the mockery with a smile. After Jamie walked away, Belinda and her friends, including Landon himself,
began to laugh at Jamie's innocence and tacky grooming. That day, Landon was called into the
principal's office to receive punishment for the trouble he had made. He was asked to clean up the
school, give his classmates private lessons, and participate in musical plays held by the school.
Landon did not want to do all these activities, but he was forced to do all those punishments
so he would not be expelled. The principal also advised him to hang out with good students rather
than make friends with punks who often put him in trouble. After school, Landon was mopping the
school corridor. He bumped into Jamie, who was busy setting up the school play. Shortly after,
Landon's friends came, and one of them interrupted Jamie, but she responded casually. After that,
they approached Landon and invited him to go home together. He initially refused because he
had to complete the assignments the principal gave, but his friends persuaded him by saying
that the principal had left the office. Landon wanted to complete the task first,
but he was worried about Jamie, who kept staring at him, so he decided to join his friends. Landon
then went to drive Belinda home. Belinda had a chance to ask Landon to stop by for a moment.
But he refused her invitation and reaffirmed that their relationship was over. Belinda was upset to
hear that, and she immediately got out of Landon's car and walked home. At the end of the week,
Landon was suddenly awakened by his mother. She asked him to leave for school immediately because
he had a schedule to teach his junior, Luis. Although Landon felt very lazy, he kept trying to
teach him. But Luis was frustrated by Landon's way of teaching and chose to leave the class. Jamie,
who was also teaching the class, could see the look on Landon's face. He was upset and fed up
with all the punishment he had to undergo. After school, Jamie approached Landon, sitting alone on
the bus. She calmed Landon down. She was trying to give some feedback on how to teach private
lessons well to him. But Landon did not respond well to Jamie's good intentions. He said she
was just a nerd who always carried bible books everywhere. Jamie became upset and asked Landon
not to act as if he knew her well. However, Landon immediately denied it by saying he had known Jamie
for a long time because they were always in the same school. He knew all about Jamie's
habits. Including the fact that she only had one sweater, which she always wore every time she went
to school. Jamie unexpectedly seemed impressed by Landon's response. However, she asserted that she
didn't care at all about what others thought of her life. The next day, Landon's friend, Eric,
drove him to school to attend a drama rehearsal with the school's drama club. Unexpectedly the
school drama coach chose Jamie and Landon to play leading roles in the drama that would be performed
at the school show later. After training, Eric was a little late to pick up Landon from school,
so Landon was forced to come home with Jamie. It happened that their house was also one-way. On
the way home, Landon immediately bowed his body down when he saw his schoolmates on the side of
the road. He didn't want his friends to discover he was hitchhiking in Jamie's car and coming home
with her. Seeing Landon's strange behavior, Jamie just smiled without saying a word. With Eric's
help, Landon tried memorizing the dialogue of the drama he had to play at the school performance.
But Eric couldn't help Landon much. The lines in Landon's dialogue were too long, and he couldn't
possibly memorize the dialogue in such a short time. Therefore, Landon met Jamie and asked her
for help memorizing the drama dialogue. Jamie initially objected to helping him. But since she
didn't want their play to fail, she was willing to help Landon on one condition. She warned him
not to fall in love with her. Landon immediately agreed to the terms because he was sure he would
never fall in love with Jamie. That afternoon before Landon came, Jamie's father, Sullivan,
refused when he found out that Landon was coming to their house. As a police officer in the city,
Sullivan discovered that Landon was a bad boy who was so troubled that he didn't want
Landon to get close to his daughter. But Jamie convinced her father that Landon only stopped
by to learn drama dialogues so their drama could run smoothly. Upon Landon's arrival at Jamie's,
Landon was astonished that her house was full of statues of Jesus and the cross. After that,
Jamie's father came to Landon's surprise and warned him not to mess with Jamie. The following
night, Landon accidentally saw Jamie secretly enter the graveyard alone at night. The curious
Landon followed her and discovered that she was building a telescope to see the constellations in
the sky. Jamie said that one of her dreams before death was to see a rare constellation. Landon
didn't seem interested in hearing Jamie's dream. However, a friendship between Jamie and Landon
slowly began to establish, and the two became closer daily. Strangely when they were at school,
Landon pretended not to know Jamie and did not respond to her when she called him in front of
his friends. Although slightly disappointed with Landon's attitude, Jamie kept quiet while smiling
thinly before she finally left Landon. After Jamie walked away, his friends again made fun of
Jamie's sweater. Landon could only pretend to be indifferent even though he felt very guilty. After
school, Landon came to Jamie's house to ask her to do drama practice together, but Jamie refused
because she was still offended by his previous attitude. Landon tried to make excuses by saying
he purposely covered his friendship with her because he wanted to surprise his friends with his
role in the drama. Landon could only leave Jamie's house with a feeling of annoyance while swearing
to vent his frustration. Landon was forced to learn to memorize the dialogue alone and try hard
so that he did not embarrass himself in the drama show. He began to pay serious attention to the
school drama coach's direction while ensuring he did not disappoint anyone. As the day of the play
arrived, Landon and Jamie finally performed their play very well in front of teachers and students.
At the end of the drama, Landon and Jamie have to kiss each other, making Belinda jealous. Everyone
seemed satisfied with Landon's performance in the drama. But Jamie's father seemed disappointed
because Landon dared to kiss his daughter. On that occasion, Landon's father also watched the
play and greeted his son because they had been apart for a long time. Landon seemed reluctant
to meet his father and chose to leave him. He still felt hurt that his father had left his
mother. The next day at lunchtime, Landon suddenly sat next to Jamie's table to enjoy lunch with her.
But Jamie warned him to stay away because she was still unsure if Landon wanted to be friends
with her. Seeing Jamie walking away, Landon tried to catch up with her, but she still ignored him.
In the afternoon, Landon was relaxing with Eric, who was upset to see Landon start to change. He
had never hung out with them again since Landon had known Jamie. Landon reasoned that he only
wanted to change the atmosphere and did not want to do the same activities continuously. Eric did
not believe that. He even said that Jamie was slowly starting to change Landon's personality,
and Landon was still unaware of it. The next night, Landon came to Jamie's house and gave her
a new sweater. When Jamie's father discovered it, he immediately warned his daughter not to get too
close to Landon. Jamie's father wanted Jamie to be happy and have a normal life like the other girls,
but he was worried that Landon was hurting her. The following day when Jamie came to school,
Belinda was suddenly polite to Jamie and invited her to talk in the cafeteria. But after arriving
at the cafeteria, it was finally revealed that Belinda and her friends just wanted to make fun
of her. They were distributing Jamie's sexy pictures to all the students at their school.
Seeing the students laughing at her loudly, Jamie felt humiliated and couldn't help crying anymore.
She ran from the cafeteria and accidentally hit Landon, who had just arrived. When Landon
discovered that his friend, Dean, had edited Jamie's picture and distributed it to all school
students, he became furious and immediately beat him up. Landon couldn't care less if
their friendship broke up and happily left the place with Jamie. After that,Landon drove Jamie,
who was still in shock, back to her house. He then tried to ask her to go on a date. But Jamie
refused because she was not the same as the other girls without further explanation to Landon. The
next day, Landon asked Jamie's father for permission, and he promised to treat Jamie
better. Given Landon's determination, Mr. Sullivan decided to give him a chance. The following night,
Landon invited Jamie to dinner at a restaurant, and they danced together to some lovely music.
They seemed to enjoy the night's date blissfully and share stories. Landon then expressed his
feelings to Jamie. Strangely, she did not answer the expression of feelings conveyed by Landon.
She reminded him again not to fall in love with her, as if she was hiding something from him.
Since then, Landon and Jamie often spend time together and even go to school together to make
Landon's friends feel upset. When her father found out that Jamie was coming home late at night,
he got worried and asked Jamie to tell Landon the truth. The following night, while Jamie and
Landon were watching the stars together, he asked what her other dreams were. Jamie said that she
wanted to get married in the same church as the one where her parents got married. The next day,
Cyntia asked about Landon's relationship with Jamie. London was frank that he had fallen in love
with Jamie. He said Jamie was different from other girls. Even Jamie had encouraged him to continue
his studies in medicine. That night when Landon went for a walk with Jamie, he asked about her
study goal in college. With a slight gloom, Jamie replied that she would not be able to continue her
study for personal reasons. When Landon asked her why she said that, Jamie had to tell the
truth. She told him that she had leukemia. At first, Landon did not believe her because Jamie
looked like a very healthy young girl. But she again convinced him and said she already had the
disease two years ago. She deliberately hid the disease from people because she didn't want to
be considered strange by others and wanted to live a normal life without people pitying her. Landon
immediately went to his father's house, who was a doctor and asked him to treat Jamie. But since he
was a cardiologist, he couldn't do much to help Landon because he also didn't know the history of
Jamie's disease. Landon, who was disappointed, rushed away and started crying all night
while driving his car. The following day, Eric approached Landon alone on the lake's shore and
tried to ask him about his problem. Eric said that Landon's mother kept asking about him last night
because he had not returned home since yesterday afternoon. But Landon said that he was fine and
chose to hide his problem. After that, Landon went to Jamie's house and filled her terrace with some
roses. Mr. Sullivan was astonished at it, trying to ask what he meant. Landon explained that he
would never leave Jamie alone. The following day, Jamie came to Landon, who was fixing his car in
the garage. She apologized to Landon because she didn't say it in the first place and made him feel
very confused about the current situation. Landon wasn't mad at her, but he feared Jamie would have
to face it alone. Hearing that, Jamie honestly said that even though she was afraid of death,
she was more fearful of losing Landon. While crying, Jamie revealed that when she was with
Landon, she always felt comfortable and happy. He wiped Jamie's tears and hugged her tightly,
saying he would never leave her. The next day, Jamie suddenly woke up after hearing the sound
of tools coming from her yard. When she looked out the window, the sound came from Landon, who
was making a big telescope for Jamie. Her father then appeared behind her, asking about the source
of the sound. When she turned around, Jamie, who looked very pale then, suddenly fell unconscious.
Jamie was immediately rushed to the hospital, and Landon accompanied her. A few days later,
after Jamie woke up, Landon smiled in relief and approached her. As a girl with a strong faith in
God, Jamie began to think that God deliberately sent Landon into her life so she could accept
her destiny. Landon could only smile, knowing Jamie thought of him as a guardian angel for her.
The next day after Jamie got out of the hospital, Mr. Sullivan told Landon that Mr. Carter
had helped pay for Jamie's treatment. Landon immediately ran to his father's house, and while
crying, he thanked his father. Seeing him crying, he hugged Landon tightly to calm him. Since then,
the relationship between Mr. Carter and Landon that was initially stretched slowly began to
close, thanks to Jamie's presence in Landon's life. In the evening, while Landon was still busy
working on the telescope project for Jamie, Mr. Sullivan came to help Landon and gave him a few
drinks. The following night, Landon invited Jamie to see the stars together after the telescope was
done. She felt very happy because her dream of seeing stunning stars finally came true.
Jamie's happiness grew when Landon decided to propose and asked her to marry him at the church
she wanted. A few days later, Jamie and Landon's wedding was held at the church and witnessed by
their friends and relatives. Unfortunately, Jamie couldn't last too long shortly after the wedding,
and eventually, she had to leave Landon for good. Four years after Jamie died, Landon,
who had just graduated from high school, came to Mr. Sullivan's house to return Jamie's mother's
book to him. He was very grateful to Landon for everything he did for Jamie, and he also felt
proud that Landon kept his promise to Jamie by continuing his study in medicine. However,
Landon still felt very sad because he couldn't give Jamie a miracle. Mr. Sullivan immediately
denied it and said Landon was the best miracle in Jamie's life. The movie ends with a scene
where Landon walks to see the sunset while thinking about Jamie, who has made his life
more meaningful. The moral that can be learned from this movie is that life will be more precious
when we know what we want and whom we love. Thus, we know the things we have to achieve.
