Lainey Eckhoff and daughter Molly return to their hometown, spend a nice weekend, Lainey tells Molly about her childhood and growing up in this town, about the follies they did with friends, about first love (Ernie) and other things. When it's time to leave, Lainey can't find Molly anywhere, when she asks people in town, everyone says Molly has never been seen before, and that Lainey has been here alone. Police also don´t believe her. She asks Ernie for help, he tries to help her, looking for Molly, but the question is, did Molly really ever exist, and if so, did Molly really come to this town with Lainey? No evidence, all of Molly's things are missing at the hotel. Lainey tries to prove to Ernie and hermself that it's all true, goes to the places where she were with Molly and looks for proof that Molly was there with her, but everything like a drawing with a stick in the sand in the park or a stain from spilled soda on the carpet, all is disappeared. Lainey and Ernie begin falling in love again. SPOILER: Molly did everything herself, when she heard Lainey tell about her first and greatest love, she decided to bring Lainey and Ernie together, she knew that her mother would turn to Ernie to help her. She agreed on everything with the people of the city, whom she met during her stay, everyone should have said that he had never seen her and that Lainey was here alone. Molly destroyed all evidence. After Lainey and Ernie kiss, Molly appears in front of them and explains all.
