Jessica buys her dream house, unaware that hidden letters within its walls will change her life. These letters reveal the story of her missing sister, Meredith, whom she hasn’t seen in eleven years. Eager to reconnect, Jessica embarks on a journey for a new beginning.
Amidst unpacking in her new home, Jessica feels pride in finally making an independent purchase, rejecting her wealthy parents’ influence. Unlike her rebellious sister Meredith, who ran away at 17, Jessica has always complied with their expectations. Now, owning this small house represents her first act of defiance.
As Jessica cleans, she discovers a crack in the wall containing several letters. Each letter, written by Meredith, shares glimpses of her life: joys, losses, and ultimately, a move for her son’s health. The final letter, signed “Meredith the mermaid,” reveals that Jessica has bought the house her sister’s husband built, igniting hope for reconnection.
Determined, Jessica meets with her realtor, Sarah, who reluctantly provides Meredith’s new contact information. After booking a flight, Jessica arrives at Meredith’s home, where they are reunited. Meredith, now married with a son, embraces Jessica, expressing disbelief and joy.
Jessica learns that Meredith distanced herself from their parents to build her own family. They share regrets about lost time but also hope for a future together, with Jessica eager to be part of her nephew’s life. Their heartfelt reunion marks the beginning of a new chapter.
