But this year won't be the same without her two older brothers who have both now graduated and joined the Marine Corps in the footsteps of their dad. She tries to follow her dad's motto. Keep moving forward, but it's just not the same. She's lonely without them. Unfortunately, her parents have decided to down-size and the three of them have moved to the summer house permanently, where all Benji's happy childhood memories are stored. How will she cope with this sudden change as well as a new neighbor who just won't go away and leave her in peace with her lonely memories?
