Best friends Lily (Fanning) and Gerri (Olsen), are home for one last New York summer. Gerri and Lily decide to run naked on the beach and into the water and they both laugh as people watch them swim. Gerri runs into the ice cream sign of a guy selling ice cream on the boardwalk. She apologizes and tries to make conversation, however he is more interested in Lily. Lily is rude to him in defense of Gerri. As both girls ride away, the guy takes a picture of Lily from the back.
When coming home from the beach, Lily goes to get her father for dinner, when she walks in on him kissing another woman in his office. Lily is obviously upset by this, but chooses not to say anything to her mother. Upset with what she just witnessed, she goes over to Gerri's to talk to her. Gerri's family is much more open and commutative than hers. They talk about sex and politics, which comforts Lily, being that this is completely different than the silence in her house. Lily talks about leaving for Yale in the fall and complains about how her boss is a pervert. Sitting outside later that night, both girls discuss the fact that they are 'the last ones' and decide make a pact to lose their virginity before leaving for college.
Lily is boat tour guide in Manhattan and while walking to work, the guy from the boardwalk (Holbrook) they met before notices her crossing the street. He decides to post the picture he took of her around the block asking where she lives. Lily later sees them on the way home and blushes. While talking to Gerri later that night, she realizes that Gerri also has a crush on the guy from the ice cream stand, saying that she saw matches on his stand with a restaurant name on them. She went to the restaurant the night before and found out his name is David. Lily, planning on telling Gerri about the posters around the block of her, decides not to since she can see Gerri likes David. The next day, Lily goes to the boardwalk hoping to see David. They run into each other on the beach and he asks her to come and hang out with him. She says she doesn't think she should, but gives him her address. Later that night, while listening to Gerri sing her song she wrote, Gerri tells Lily that she called the restaurant where David works in hopes of talking to him. However, he wasn't there. Lily responds with, "you barely even know the guy," making Gerri feel insecure. Lily then returns home to find her mother crying with knowledge of her father, Edward's affair. Lily yells at her mother asking her to have their father stay since she doesn't want the family broken up. Norma then asks her to leave the room since she is upsetting her and her sisters. Lily sits outside on the porch and is greeted by David who she goes to hang out with. They go to a studio apartment his friend lets him stay in if he acts like security for the place. Lily learns that David is an artist and he wants to travel the world. This is very attractive to Lily since she herself wants to leave. David kisses her, but tells her that she better get home. Lily then asks David if he is really going to see Gerri on Friday. He doesn't answer and Lily leaves. The next night at open mic night, Gerri discusses her date with David. She is confused as to why he didn't want to hook up with her. Last minute, David shows up to see Gerri sing. Lily and David sit next to each other and listen to Gerri perform the song she wrote about him. David then takes Lily's hand and holds it under the table. The three of them have an awkward goodbye, as David walks away without giving Gerri a hug, which confuses her. The two talk as they walk further down the block about Lily's dad and the affair which leads to Gerri saying that, 'you should be able to trust the ones you love most.' Feeling guilty about David, Lily decides to go home early, while Gerri meets up with other musicians.
The next day at work, Lily's boss (Sarsgaard) flirts with her and asks her if she wants any night shifts. Lily says she is running late and heads to Gerri's. Kate (Moore), Gerri's mom lectures Lily saying that she needs to make clear boundaries with her boss. Walking home, Lily finds David waiting outside her house. She tells him that she doesn't understand what he wants, but instead of answering her, he kisses her and the two have sex in her garage on sleeping bags. The next morning while on her way to work, Lily finds the sleeping bag rolled up in the garage with the Sylvia Plath book of Poetry, which David had her read some when she was first at his place. She runs into her father who asks her to have dinner with him and apologizes for leaving the house. She says no and walks to work. Later that day while at a cookout with Gerri and her family, Gerri says she invited David to the cookout but he said he couldn't come.
After an awkward encounter with her mom, Lily takes a shower in which David sneaks in through the window. The two have sex in the shower. They later go around the city posting David's art. They dance and David takes their picture together. The two have sex later that evening, where Lily and David talk about their greatest fears. Lily calls her mother to tell her that she won't be home for dinner, when she tells Lily that Gerri's father died and she has been trying to contact Lilly all day. Lily, obviously upset leaves David to be with Gerri.
Gerri breaks down to Lily saying that now her life will never be the same now that her dad is gone. This encourages Lily to ask her mother to forgive her father. Gerri talks to Lily how she wishes David were here for her and that she can't stop thinking about him. Meanwhile, David keeps calling Lily in which she keeps ignoring them. On her way to work, Lily rebuffs David and asks him to go see Gerri. David goes to see Gerri and she breaks down to David and asks him to make love to her. The two kiss and he comforts her. At her father's memorial service, Gerri tells Lily that her and David made love and she lost her virginity. Lily, upset goes home and later that night, after calling David and getting his voicemail, decides to kiss with her boss on the tour boat. The two start to fool around, but when he leaves to get a condom, Lily runs to David's place. She asks him why he had sex with Gerri and as she is leaving, tells him she had sex with her boss. The next day, Lily comes home to her dad and mom cooking in the kitchen. They tell her that they are back together.
While hanging out with Gerri in the park, Gerri asks Lily if she should call David. Lily snaps at her and tells her that she is making a fool of herself and should leave him alone. Taken back by what she said, Lily apologizes and leaves abruptly. David later confronts Lily asking her to tell Gerri how everything happened and says that he didn't sleep with Gerri. Lily storms off ignoring him. While Gerri and David hang out in the gardens, Lily sees them and afterwards, Gerri tells Lily that David told her that he is leaving for Paris the next day. Lily goes to David's place to say goodbye and tells him that she never slept with her boss and said that to hurt him. David tells her that she is full of it and soon there won't be anyone left to play with. As he gets a cab, he kisses her goodbye and leaves. While walking away, Lily sees that Gerri saw the whole thing. Confronting Lily, Gerri becomes furious, calls her conceited and yells at her for 'playing God when her father died.' Devastated, Lily runs after her apologizing and Gerri runs home.
Lily later confides in her dad, saying she lost her virginity and explains the situation with Gerri. Her dad tells her that people aren't perfect and sometimes it's harder to forgive yourself. He also tells her that people are full of surprises and thanks her for telling him. About to leave for college, Lilly is packing up the car when Gerri comes over and hands her a photograph David sent her, therefore making sure the two of them saw each other after he left. The two girls make up and Gerri tells her that she actually never slept with David because he told her that he was in love with someone else. The two end up dancing in their underwear with Lily's sister while the sprinklers come on.
