One day, an explosion on the job nearly kills him, throwing him into the water. Months later after recovering, Dawson learns that his close friend and surrogate father, Tuck Hostetler, has died and returns home for the first time in almost twenty years to carry out Tuck's final wishes. When he arrives at his house, Dawson is surprised to find that Tuck also arranged for Dawson's high school girlfriend, Amanda Collier, to join him. It seems that Tuck's intention was that Dawson and Amanda would perhaps rekindle their former romance. However, after more than twenty years of separation, Amanda is now married to Frank Reynolds and has a son while Dawson has remained single his entire life.

Dawson was born into a notorious backwoods criminal family with an abusive father and more than a dozen abusive cousins. In flashbacks, it is revealed that as a teenager, he left his father's home and stayed overnight in Tuck Hostetler's garage. Tuck, a local mechanic who had recently lost his wife, allows Dawson to live with him and eventually considers him a son of his own. Dawson and Amanda attended the same high school and began dating, soon falling in love in a matter of weeks. A few days before the prom, Dawson's father and cousins beat Tuck. An angry Dawson goes to his father's house with the intent of killing him with Tuck's rifle.

However, they scuffle to gain possession of the rifle, resulting in Dawson's cousin Bobbie, an expectant teen father, accidentally getting shot in the head. The police launch a raid on the Coles' property, arresting all the Coles except for Dawson, who turns himself in a few days after the incident. In exchange for a lighter sentence, Dawson testifies against his father and cousins.

However, since Dawson will not be paroled for another four years, he cuts ties with Amanda, forcing her to choose college over staying with him. After Tuck's death, Amanda and Dawson meet with Tuck's lawyer and learn that they are to scatter Tuck's ashes at a cottage he owned with his wife. They have lunch and discuss their plans, during which Amanda learns that Dawson knew she had continued to try to visit him in prison. Later, Dawson and Amanda spend a passionate night together. The following day, after Amanda gets a phone call, Amanda decides to return to her family and her strained marriage, to meet her family commitments.

When Amanda goes home, Dawson remains at Tuck's to restore the garden. He is then informed by his deceased cousin Bobbie's wife that his young son and Dawson's nephew Aaron Cole has been hanging around with Tommy Cole lately. Except for Aaron, Tommy, and a few of Dawson's cousins, most of the Cole family had left the property.

Dawson arrived at the property to pick up Aaron, and when Tommy Cole confronts him, Dawson coldly tells his father that he would always be a weakling and a coward. Meanwhile, Amanda later plans to split up with her husband, who had been drinking heavily since the death of their daughter Bea, and she leaves Dawson a voicemail on his phone expressing her love. After she left the voicemail, she receives a call from which she learns that her son had been in an accident and needs a heart transplant. Having lost her daughter already, she feels miserable on hearing this news. Soon her son gets a heart transplant surgery donor. The next morning when she wakes up, she sees Dawson sitting by her side watching her sleep, though he was not actually there.

Her mother arrives at the house and is informed that Dawson was attacked by his father and cousins. Though he managed to trick his cousin Abee into shooting Ted in the leg with his Glock and knocked Abee unconscious with a crowbar, Dawson was shot in the chest by his father when he was calling the sheriff.

Even though Dawson's father and cousins were later arrested, Dawson died shortly thereafter of his gunshot wound. Devastated with grief over the loss of Dawson, Amanda attends his funeral along with Aaron Cole and his mother. One year later, she receives a call from her son, who finds out that the name of the donor whose heart he received was Dawson Cole. She later visits Tuck's house and finds a letter for her written by Dawson in which he says that he understands that she has her commitments and she wants to keep them and he could only love her more for that.
