A week before graduating from high school, June Scott, Harper's older sister commits suicide. She seems to have everything going for her. An outstanding student, she was planning to go to college. Why did she choose to end her life? No one seems to know, let alone Harper or her divorcing parents. Instead they decide to divide her ashes between them. Harper can't believe that her parents want to divide June's remains. As she ponders the decision, she comes to one of her own. She will go to California where June always had dreamed of going. To the beaches and sunny shores she knew she would love.
Inviting her best friend, Laney, she begins planning the long trip. Jake Tolan, a boy who always seemed to be in trouble approaches her at school and states that he will go with them. Harper has no idea why or how he could possibly be connected to her sister. Yet when he insists, volunteering to drive them himself, she agrees. Jake can be fun, agreeable and sometimes even charming. Other times he is difficult but he has one redeeming feature - he believes that music is the solution, particularly classic rock. Still she doesn't know why he is going to California with them. Will she discover the reason on the trip?
