Erin（德鲁·巴里摩尔 Drew Barrymore 饰）和Garrett（贾斯汀·朗 Justin Long 饰）在灯红酒绿酒吧邂逅，两个青年对彼此人敞开了心胸，喝酒谈心度过了无比浪漫的美好一夜。第二天两人甚至还一块吃了早餐，火花就这样在两人中间闪现了。经过一段短暂但又甜蜜的时光，他们不得不面对一个严重的现实问题——Erin的家在旧金山，而Garrett的事业在纽约，但是他们两个都谁不愿意放弃现有的一切，更加舍不得让这段关系结束。于是，他们凭借着手机和各式通信工具开始了一场“远距离的恋爱”。 　　而最后他们的工作跟感情不能兼顾？是否又会为了对方放下一切来成全这一段感情？Erin has just six more weeks as an intern at the New York Sentinel before she returns to San Francisco. That's fine with Garrett since he just got out of a relationship. But their relationship blossoms and it quickly becomes something that they can't just drop in six weeks. They admit to wanting to be boyfriend/girlfriend just on opposite coasts. The distance wears on them, as with their nay-saying friends and sister, and soon they are forced to either break up or come up with a solution that has them living in the same city.
