About the film

In Los Angeles, shy teenager AJ meets Kristen, who lives for surfing; he loves skateboarding and drawing. They fall madly in love, and a happy future seems within reach. But everything changes when Kristen faces a sudden illness. Together, they face adversity, driven by the strength of their love, their friends, and their newly shared passion for surfing and the ocean.

Plays from YouTube when you press play; nothing loads from them until then.
