Plot

In 2007, 17-year-old Morgan Davidson finds out she is pregnant by her boyfriend, Chris Grant. She tells Jonah Sullivan, her sister Jenny's boyfriend and Chris's best friend, who has feelings for Morgan.

Seventeen years later, Chris and Morgan are married and have a teenage daughter named Clara. Jenny and Jonah get back together after being apart for many years and plan to marry. They also have an infant son named Elijah. On Morgan's birthday, Clara meets her classmate Miller Adams while he is moving a city limits sign. She helps him and then drives him home. They discover they both want to work in movies.

After learning that Miller has a girlfriend, Jenny warns Clara not to interfere in their relationship. Chris tells Clara to stay away from Miller because he recognizes Miller as the son of a former classmate who went to prison for selling drugs. Morgan and Jonah talk privately, and Morgan says it is too late for them because Clara is her priority. Clara later learns that Miller's girlfriend broke up with him because he started to like Clara.

Chris and Jenny die in a car crash. Jonah and Morgan later believe they were having an affair. During Chris's funeral, Morgan sees Clara smoking marijuana with Miller during the service. Clara asks Morgan why she did not organize Chris and Jenny's funerals together.

Later, Jonah and Morgan find Chris's car in a hotel parking lot, proving the affair. Morgan damages the car before driving it home. Clara asks Morgan about the damage, but Morgan does not explain. Clara later sneaks out to see Miller and returns to find that Morgan has broken the kitchen door.

The next day, Jonah gives Elijah to Morgan, thinking Chris might be Elijah's real father. Clara confronts Jonah and convinces him to continue taking care of Elijah. Clara and Morgan agree to help Jonah as much as they can.

The next day, after moving the city limits sign again, Miller tells Clara he is worried no one will take care of his grandfather if he goes to college. At the end of the night, Clara and Miller kiss. They later get Clara's best friend, Lexie, to ask out Miller's friend, Efren. At home, Jonah plays Morgan a song that reminds her of a moment they shared as teenagers.

Morgan disapproves of Clara and Miller's relationship because they started flirting while Miller was dating someone else. Morgan and Jonah later find hidden letters from Jenny to Chris, which Jonah wants to ignore, but Morgan does not. Morgan points out a painting Jenny suggested she buy for Chris's birthday, even though she hated it, so they both throw it away. Over time, Morgan distracts herself by remodeling, while Clara prepares college applications, and Jonah continues to care for Elijah.

After seeing Jonah and Morgan kiss, Clara tells Miller she wants to have sex with him that night. They start to become intimate until Clara begins crying, realizing her actions are driven by anger toward her mother. Miller stays overnight to comfort her. In the morning, Morgan finds them asleep together and grounds Clara.

Later that evening, Morgan hosts an awkward birthday dinner for Clara, inviting Miller, Lexie, and Jonah. Clara and Morgan argue, and Clara announces that her dream college has accepted her with a scholarship. Upset by being involved in Clara's family drama, Miller leaves. A heartbroken Clara visits Chris and Jenny's graves with Lexie to share a drink, where Morgan finds them.

The next morning, Morgan helps Clara with her hangover and finally tells her the truth after Clara expresses fear that she might have caused Chris and Jenny's deaths by texting Jenny. Morgan explains that Chris was driving and admits he and Jenny were having an affair, but says they both loved Clara deeply. Morgan and Clara reconcile and agree to support each other in loving people they care about. Clara later apologizes to Miller, and they reunite at the movie theater. That night, Morgan and Jonah have sex and burn Jenny’s letters.

The family holds a party, where Miller plays a video for Clara, revealing he has loved her for two years and was ready to break up with his girlfriend the first day they moved the city limits sign. Clara accepts his invitation to the prom. She and Morgan privately express love and pride for each other. Later, Clara and Miller move the city limits sign as close to his house as possible.
