Every Summer has a story.
Jake Bell spent his high school career preparing to leave his hometown, but when the time finally comes, he meets Summer Jones: free-spirited, beautiful, and the complete opposite of what he thought he wanted. Summer teaches Jake that every summer has a story; every summer is made up of chances that, if taken, can change your life. Every summer is made up of moments that will never be forgotten. But when an accident causes Jake's life to turn upside down, he may try to forget all he learned and return to his gaming, quiet self with his best friend, Drew. Jake may try to forget Summer, but he may also realize that he doesn't really want to.
A lovelorn high school student and a charismatic, budding surfer teach each other lessons of love and life during their summer together.
Bailey Ashford is a friendless 16-year-old who just graduated high school. Lonely and feeling cheated out of her teenage years, Bailey dreads her last carefree summer before starting college in the fall. After she has a chance encounter with Julian Weber, the most desired boy from her high school, she feels the need to make a bucket list of sorts, consisting of things most teenagers experience that she has yet to do. Gathering a little courage, Bailey asks Julian to help her with her bucket list, and to her shock, he agrees.
Throwing caution to the wind, Bailey finally learns to let loose and have fun, that is, until her family life begins crumbling. Torn between being a careless teenager or returning to how she used to be, Julian teaches Bailey that not everything can be solved by an equation or a book but by feelings and emotions.
