Martin has just lost his father in a military plane crash. Before he can even process the grief, he is uprooted from base and sent halfway across the country to his mother’s home in South Carolina. To make matters worse, he meets the love of his life in Diana, who only wants to be his friend. Before he can profess his love for her, Diana falls terribly ill and they are torn apart when she moves away.

After joining the Marines, Martin becomes a pilot and comes face to face with war and tragedy, with only the memories and letters from Diana giving him the strength to go on.

Now, with life and death on the line, Martin must accept that he loves Diana, and should do whatever it takes to let her know. Time is against him as he must choose between his heart and her happiness.
