Autumn, Shay i Logan chodzą do tej samej szkoły. Wydaje się, że nic więcej ich
nie łączy. Nic poza żalem i muzyką. Autumn od zawsze wiedziała, kim jest -
utalentowaną artystką i lojalną przyjaciółką.Shay definiowała siebie poprzez
więź z siostrą bliźniaczką oraz swoją muzyczną pasję. Logan z reguły zaczynał
pisać piosenki o miłości, kiedy jego własne życie uczuciowe zaczynało odbiegać
od ideału. Kiedy jednak każde z nich dotknęła tragedia, muzyka nagle przestała
im wystarczać. Teraz Logan nie może przestać oglądać vloga swojego zmarłego
chłopaka. Gniew, żal i poczucie winy całkowicie go obezwładniają. Chłopak wie,
że nic nie zdoła cofnąć przykrych słów, które kiedyś wypowiedział. Shay
próbuje nie widzieć w sobie odbicia siostry, a pochłaniające ją mrok i ataki
paniki stara się ukryć, imprezując z chłopakami na koncertach. Autumn zaś bez
końca wysyła wiadomości do swojej najlepszej przyjaciółki, chociaż wie, że już
nigdy nie dostanie od niej odpowiedzi. Mimo wszelkich przeciwności losu,
trójkę obcych sobie osób połączy muzyka jednego zespołu. Czy mimo wszystkich
problemów znajdą coś, co zdoła ich ocalić? Czy muzyka jest wystarczającą siłą,
by udowodnić tej trójce, że piękno nadal kwitnie w tych, którzy pozostali z
nami? Piękno, które pozostaje jest pełną emocji opowieścią o tym, jak jednoczy
nas muzyka, jak tragedia sprawia, że się od siebie odsuwamy oraz o tym, jak
życie potrafi się zmienić w ciągu jednej chwili – na lepsze lub gorsze.
