Based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks.
Synopsis: Each spring in the little port town of Beaufort, North Carolina, when the wind smells of pine and salt and the sea, Landon Carter remembers his senior year at Beaufort High and Jamie Sullivan, the girl who changed his life.
Jamie was the last person Landon was likely to fall for. Serious and conservative, she was as far from cool as she could possibly be, and didn't care. Her self-confidence didn't depend upon the opinions of others. The daughter of the town's Baptist minister, Jamie was not afraid of letting people know that her faith was the most important part of her life, even if it cost her some friends.
Landon hung with the in-crowd -- an aimless, moody, reckless guy who breezed through school on looks and bravado. His friends took pleasure in making fun of anyone that didn't meet their standards and often taunted Jamie about her plain clothes and solitary ways. Landon and his crowd ruled the school, but it was a reign that would soon be over when school ended and life began, whether they realized it or not.
Landon had no plans, no future and no faith in himself.
One night a prank that he and his buddies set up for a laugh goes terribly wrong and lands a kid in the hospital. As punishment, Landon is assigned to tutor a young student on the weekends and participate in the Drama Club's spring play - two activities the principal hopes will teach him some humility. They also happen to throw him into close contact with Jamie, who is already volunteering as a tutor and a lead in the play.
Clearly in over his head with both assignments, Landon is forced to ask Jamie for help.
Soon, against his own expectations and the scorn of his friends, Landon finds himself falling in love with this outwardly plain girl who possesses a passion for life he never imagined possible. But it isn't easy. For reasons of her own, Jamie does everything she can to run away from romance until it becomes impossible to deny.
Being together will test everything they believe in. Most of all, it will test the power of love and faith to transform a life into something worth living.
