Leo Collins (Channing Tatum) and his wife Paige (Rachel
McAdams) have been at the theatre watching a show. On their way home, Leo stops at a stop sign
when Paige decides to unbuckle her seat belt and leans over to kiss Leo. Out of
nowhere a truck goes straight into the back of their car which results in Paige
crashing through the windscreen. Paige
is unconscious and they are both rushed straight to hospital. The film then
shows scenes of when the couple first met and when they got married with Leo
doing a voice over talking about special moment that happen that help in
finding who we are.
When Paige wakes up, she has no idea what has happened and
has no memory of the past few years as she thinks Leo is her doctor. Paige’s parents Bill and Rita have lots of
money and a big house. When they find
out about their daughter they rush to the hospital to visit her where they meet
Leo for the first time. Paige is
confused and cannot understand how Leo has never met her parents if they are
married and she finds it even stranger that Leo did not know the answer
either. Page is also shocked to realise
she has left law school, broke up with her fiancé Jeremy and no longer talks to
any of her family or friends. Her parents decide they are taking are back home
which Paige is happy about but as she is about to leave Leo plays her a voice
mail she has left him on his phone.
Paige hears how happy she sounds so decides to go back home with Leo,
hoping it will help get her memory back.
Leo thinks it would be a good surprise to have a welcome home party with
all of Paige’s friends but she gets upset as she has no idea who anyone is.
Paige’s sister Gwen (Jessica McNamee) is getting married soon so Paige decides to stay at her parent’s house to help out with the wedding plans. Leo asks Paige on a date and takes her to the same place they had their first date and she enjoyed it just as much as she did the first time. Back home, Paige’s dad is trying his best to persuade Leo to divorce his daughter which is the last thing Leo wants but realises it might be for the best as Paige just wants her old life back.
Paige re-joins law school and starts living her old life again. At a local store, Paige meets an old friend she hasn’t seen for a while called Diane. Diane had not heard about the accident so she apologies to Paige for having a brief relationship with her father which sets bells ringing in Paige’s head about why she left her family. Paige rushes home to confront her mother who tells her that she decided to stay with her father for all the things he had done right instead of leaving him for one wrong act. Paige then turns to Leo to find out why he never told her about her father. Leo replied by telling he wanted to earn her love instead of driving her away from her parents
While sitting in class at law school, Paige starts sketching
in her book, depicting why she first left law school. Paige continues her interest in art and slowly
she returns to drawing and sculpting.
Jeremy hopes him and Paige will get back together after telling her he
has finished with his girlfriend for her, but Paige rejects him stating she
needs to know what life would be like without him. As the months pass, Paige finds the menu card on which she
had written her wedding vows and gets very emotional over it. The film ends
with Paige finding Leo at their regular café which is closed due to the snow so
they walk off together to a new place.
