A story from the 1950s in Louisiana tells of a 14-year-old girl named Dani (Reese Witherspoon) who falls in love with a boy three years older than her - Kurt Foster (Jason London). Kurt also reciprocates Dani’s feelings, even giving her his first kiss, and their relationship begins to develop. He meets and is increasingly attracted to Dani's older sister, Maureen (Emily Warfield). Unbeknownst to Dani, Maureen and Kurt start dating and fall in love. However, Kurt still cares for Dani, and Maureen loves his sister and can not force himself to open a relationship.
