The Last Letter follows Matthew, a 21-year-old grappling with the recent death of his mother. While cleaning out her belongings, he discovers a long-lost letter dated 1998. In a last-ditch attempt to avoid his grief, he sets out to deliver it. Along the way, he reconnects with old friends and revisits the memories of his childhood.
