Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum star in a romantic drama from the writer of the classic The Notebook.

A young soldier, John (Channing Tatum) is home on leave when he has a chance encounter with idealistic college student Savannah (Amanda Seyfried). When Savannah's bag falls from a pier into the sea, John impulsively jumps after it. Touched by John's chivalry, and intrigued by his brooding good looks, Savannah finds herself falling passionately in love over the course of two magical weeks. When John is shipped overseas for his next tour of duty, Savannah writes asking him to tell her everything that happens to him: "That way we'll be with each other all the time". Over the next seven tumultuous years, the couple is separated by John's increasingly dangerous deployments. While meeting only sporadically, they stay in touch by sending a continuous stream of love letters overseas - correspondence that eventually triggers fateful consequences.
