Two love stories, one journey.
In present-day North Carolina, college senior Sophia Danko (Britt Robertson) is preparing for a new life in the art world when she meets Luke Collins (Scott Eastwood), a professional bull rider trying to make a comeback after a serious injury. Their connection is immediate, but their dreams seem to lead in opposite directions.
After rescuing an elderly man, Ira Levinson (Alan Alda), from a car crash, Sophia and Luke become entangled in his life story. As Sophia visits Ira in the hospital, she reads letters he wrote to his late wife, Ruth (Oona Chaplin), recounting their decades-long love story from the 1940s.
