Synopsis

U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Efron) has just returned to the States from his gruelling third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive - a treasured photograph he found of an unknown woman.

When he discovers her name is Beth (Schilling) and finds her address, he decides to visit her. Showing up on her doorstep unannounced, he ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel. Initially very cautious as she has other complications in her life, their relationship develops and the romance gives Logan the opportunity that Beth could more than his good luck charm.

Directed by Scott Hicks, the screenplay is written by Will Fetters (REMEMBER ME), adapted from the Nicholas Sparks novel The Lucky One. Starring Zac Efron (17 AGAIN, CHARLIE ST CLOUD), Taylor Schilling (MERCY TV series) and Blythe Danner (MEET THE PARENTS franchise).
