"Some love stories begin in silence. Some get buried in floorboards. Some wait patiently to be read by someone who will believe them."
It's summer break and seventeen year old Elena White is at her recently late aunt's beach house in Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina. While cleaning out the attic, she finds a hidden tin box stored beneath the floorboards that are dated 1984, signed off by just the letter, "M" to a mysterious girl named Odette. Elena becomes obsessed with this story that never got an ending and gets help from a soft-spoken girl named Ivy, a local girl who volunteers at the city library and is obsessed with anything vintage and is Elena's old childhood friend.
As they retrace the clues to find out what happened to the girls from the letters, Elena and Ivy form their own delicate bond. The more they uncover the past, the more it mirrors their present, especially when Elena realizes her family might have played a part in keeping that old love story hidden.
