The story is about Logan Thibault (Zac Efron) a
marine, who found a photo of a beautiful blonde on rubble during his tour to
Iraq which written “keep safe X” on the back. At that moment a mortar attack
occurred at that place. And he was the only one survived; hence, he thought the
girl was his guardian angel, and started a journey to find that girl after the
war, which led him to a dog kennel in Hamden, where he found her, Beth Clayton
(Taylor Schiling). Then, Logan worked for her. At first, Beth found Logan very
odd but her grandma Ellie (Blythe Danner) liked him so much. Soon, they were in
love, and Beth’s son loved him so much. However, Beth scored Logan because she
was mad, when she found out the photo, which she gave it to his brother, Drake,
which she meant it to protect him. Beth’s ex who was the father of the son also
tried to separate them, because he was jealous, I thought. At the end, the
conflict was resolved; they’re together again.
I think it's like other escapist melodramas, which have the typical story line. The
handsome, athletic Logan who was also portrayed as a good gentleman man who
played piano well, who cared about Beth’s child, who was with Beth when she
felt bad about her dead brother Drake, or when she was bullied by his ex, who
opened door for a woman and etc. At first, they weren’t so good to each others
due to some misunderstanding. Later, they were in love. It’s also where some
bed scenes came in. Followed by a big conflict which was solved easily, and the
story ended when the conflict was resolved.
It's definitely a good choice for people who love escapist melodrama as not only was it starring handsome Zac Efron, but it also has romantic storyline, and sprinked with some romantic love quotations, and covered with beautiful country view.
