Mia Hall (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her family are getting ready to go on with their normal day activities when it is announced on the radio that school has been cancelled. Mia's dad Denny (Joshua Leonard) is a teacher and as a result of the snow day doesn't have to go to work. Mia's mom Kat (Mireille Enos), a travel agent, decides to call in sick and along with her family decide to visit Mia's grandparents who live on a farm. It's also revealed that Mia once dated an older, popular up-and-coming rock-star named Adam Wilde (Jamie Blackley), who she broke up with months back.

 

 

The story then flash-backs to Mia's early life with a rocker dad who was in a band when she was younger, and an inexperienced mom; one day they take Mia to a music class where Mia decides that wants to start playing the cello. After her parents see that Mia is passionate about the cello they hire a teacher to help her play, while Mia's mom is now pregnant with Teddy (Jakob Davies), who, to Mia's belief, was the reason for her father's departure from being in a band.
Years later with an adolescent Mia who is still passionate about the cello is playing at school in the band room where Adam peeks in on her playing, seeing her for the first time, leading him to ask Kim (Liana Liberato), Mia's best-friend, for her name. Adam then asks Mia out on a date to the symphony, where they show mutual affection towards one another.

The story flashes-back to current time with the family driving to the grandparents farm when their car collides with an oncoming truck. Mia now appears to have an out-of-body experience and sees her body laying on the road while paramedics seem to be trying to help her other family members as well. Mia tries to ask a paramedic what is happening, but realizes that no one can see or hear her. Mia, now in the hospital panics as she doesn't know the current status about any of her family members when they take her in for surgery. A comforting nurse (Aisha Hinds) tells Mia that it is up to her whether or not she wants to stay.

The story flashes-back once again to Mia attending one of Adam's concerts with his band Willamette Stone, where she doesn't seem to fit in with anyone. Adam's band is steadily gaining more recognition and gets signed to a label, which starts to put a strain on their relationship due to the travel schedule. While at dinner Grandpa suggests that Mia should apply to Juilliard, an idea which she initially rebuffs, but ends up further researching. She eventually lands an audition in San Francisco. It takes a while for Mia to tell Adam about her audition and when she does he becomes upset and leaves for a week long gig.
The story now focuses on the surgery of Mia. She sees a doctor speaking to her grandparents who are standing outside of a pediatric room where Teddy lays in a coma-like state. Adam comes to the hospital to see Mia, but is not allowed in as he isn't immediate family. It is then revealed that Mia's mom Kat was pronounced dead on arrival, and her dad Denny died on the operating table. She also later finds out that Teddy died from a subdural hematoma. Grandpa talks to Mia, revealing that her father gave up being in a band because he wanted to give her a better life and be a better father. He also, tearfully, gives Mia his permission to move on from this life if she wants, which promotes Mia to decide that she wants to die so that she can join her family on the other side
