"The Last Song" is set in a small Southern beach town in Tybee Island, Georgia, where Steve (Greg Kinnear),
a divorced father, gets a chance to spend the summer with his teenaged daughter Ronnie (Miley Cyrus) and his young son Jonah (Bobby Coleman).
Ronnie would rather be in New York City than be in this hick town, especially with her father, who she believes abandoned her three years earlier.
Steve tries to reconnect with Ronnie through their love of music. Steve was a concert pianist who loved teaching Ronnie how to play the piano.
Ronnie became so good at playing, that Juilliard has offered her a scholarship. This is a story of family secrets that revolves around first loves and second chances.
