In his recollection of his high school days as the captain of the debate team, he and his friends Mark Dominique Spencer, Andrew Robert D. Mason, Mike John Stansfields, and Edna Lauren Julia Ritter (who has a crush on Mike), show up the homecoming king/captain of the football team/school bully/big man on campus, Jake Brad Masters. Shy Mike must overcome his own bashfulness to win Beth's heart, and he manages this despite her popular and violence-prone boyfriend Jake, her snobby popular-girl friends, a less-than-loyal buddy, and his own insecurities. Fortunately, he has a true friend in Mark, who is both his counselor and his staunch defender. In the present day, Older Mike gazes at a picture of Beth in her twenties and sobs, recalling the night she died. In this flashback, Mike and Beth are middle-aged empty nesters. Mike, exhausted from work and feeling his age lashes out at Beth, starting an argument that sends Beth out the door to her car. Mike, left alone to watch sports and ruminate on the argument, gets a surprise visit from his old friend Mark, followed by a fateful phone call. In the present day, is visited by Beth's forgiving spirit. He sees his granddaughters off as they head home.
