The film follows the story of two teenage sisters who travel to Nashville after discovering that their late father was a country music singer.
Plot
The film opens with two high school students, Ada Spencer and her younger sister Piper, living in a rural Tennessee farmhouse with their widowed mother Elizabeth and their grandmother Meemaw. Their father died when they were young, and their mother has been raising them alone. When a water pipe bursts in the house where the girls live, they discover a Silver Star and other information about their father. Their mother has never talked about him. The girls are determined to find out more about their father. Over the next few days, the girls repeatedly lie to their mother and say they are going to the farm of Ada's friend, Justine. However, they are actually catching rides with Justine to go learn more about their father. While visiting the nearby State Veteran's Home, Luke and Dusty meet Iraq War veteran Henry Monroe. Henry tells them that he served with their father in the Marines in 2004. During their deployment, their father saved Henry's life by jumping on a grenade. They also meet C.J. Simms, a Korean War veteran and musician. C.J. is impressed by their singing voices and invites them to perform at a local music festival.
The children of a deceased country music singer discover that their father was a singer. They decide to travel to Nashville to learn more about him. While there, they meet Declan, who soon strikes up a relationship with Ada. The two of them hit it off, and start dating. Declan arranged for the sisters to meet Marq Dunn, the woman their father had worked with to write and record his music. The sisters were thrilled to finally meet the woman who had been such an important part of their father's life and career. Marq invited the sisters back to Nashville to record a song after hearing them sing. Elizabeth discovers that her sisters have been lying about their whereabouts and confronts them. In response, the sisters accuse their mother of being a liar for not telling them the truth about their father's music and military careers. Meemaw eventually reveals that their father had stopped his music of his own accord when he met Elizabeth and wanted to start a family. Their father was a musician, and Elizabeth was a singer. The film ends with Elizabeth visiting Marq and admitting that she has always felt a little jealous of her, but also guilty about taking Brian away from the musical opportunities he and Marq could have had. This leads to Ada and Piper singing one of their father's songs on stage with Willie Nelson and Marq at a fundraiser for veterans.
