Kate Forester and Alex Wyler meet through the Lake House's mailbox. They are exactly two years apart. Kate politely asks Alex to forward her mail. She moved in a new apartment and starts a new position as a doctor for a different hospital in Chicago. The paw prints she mentions in her letter suddenly happens the next day, while Alex renovated areas around the lake house.
Kate witnesses an accident with a pedestrian crossing the street, she runs to where he is and tried to make him respond. This event matters in the future. It's something that was impossible and yet possible for two lovers.
He responds to her letter and says no one lived in the lake house for several years. She also corrects the year and says it's 2006. Some say this is like the story called Persuasion. The apartment building Kate says she lives is under construction and Alex sees it isn't finished in the year 2004. She says it snowed in that exact year, date and time and sure enough it did snow and Alex sneezes.
The mailbox handle moves and Jack barks in aw when it happens. The both introduces themselves to each other, Alex is an architect and says they have the same dog. And they both lived in the lake house in different times. They take a walk around town and connect. Alex leaves a message on a wall for Kate.
Alex has a strange relationship with his father because he acts as though nothing could ever bother him. Everything is a joke and some ideas demands his attention if he pays attention. Alex plants a tree next to the apartment building and then it suddenly appears in Kate's time. He spends time with his brother at the lake house.
Kate asks Alex for a favor, she tells him she left behind her book Persuasion while getting on a train to Madison. He keeps the book and placed it underneath the apartment floor. He says she's beautiful and the attraction grows into something more than being pencils. Alex makes reservations for them at a popular restaurant...Two years from that day.
Kate talks to her ex about getting close to a guy at her surprise birthday party. She kissed a perfect stranger and her ex sees it all- two years ago. Jack runs off to a neighborhood and it was at Kate and her exes home. Alex invited to Kate's birthday party. Kate wasn't happy about the party and was annoyed.
In Kate's time she goes to a bar and meets her fellow coworker and came to the conclusion she kissed Alex. Two years ago Alex arrives to the party and is excited to see Kate. Present day Kate tells her friend she would like to give her heart to the man who is difficult to meet. She came to the conclusion it was Alex she kissed two years ago.
At the party, two years ago, Kate sits on the porch and Alex joins her. They talk and Alex asks her about the novel Persuasion and Kate it's her favorite book and wondered why he asks her that question. They dance for a while and they kiss.
The next day they talk about what happened and that he had a girlfriend. She asks why he didn't say anything. Then Alex's dad is sick and he sees him in the hospital. Of course his dad says it's nothing. He tells Kate his father built the lake house. He tells Kate everything that happened between his parents and the harsh thing he said about his mother when she died. Then Alex loses his father.
Kate finally waits to see Alex at the restaurant he booked to meet Kate and she waited for hours and he doesn't come. Disappointed, Kate quits corresponding with Alex and goes back to her ex. Alex hands over the keys to the lake house and tells Morgan it's what Kate wants and Jack shows up.
Kate finds her book Persuasion hidden in the floor. Alex thinks of Kate on New Year's and things look sad. However there is still hope.
Kate and Morgan want to remodel a house and chooses Alex's brother company to finish the project, Kate sees the lake house on the wall and asks who drew it and Henry says his brother did it and then he said he died. Kate runs off to the lake house and writes the the letter and said it was him who died that day in the city when he crosses the street. Alex waits, like Kate said and he comes to the lake house and they are happily together.
