The film is set on the fictional island of New Penzance, an idyllic little place located somewhere in New England. Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman, Elsa & Fred) is an orphan who has spent a good deal of time moving from foster home to foster home. Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward, Fan Girl) is the oldest of four children, and lives at home with her parents Walt (Bill Murray, Lost in Translation) and Laura (Frances McDormand, Fargo). They meet in 1964 at a church event (a performance of Benjamin Britten's Noye's Fludde) and decide to become pen pals. Over the course of the next year, they write to each other about their assorted struggles at home and at school. In their letters, they planned to run away together and live by the ocean. Eventually, they fall in love and decide to run away together...
