Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson finds himself stranded and injured after a car crash, struggling to stay conscious. As he drifts in and out of awareness, a familiar figure appears: his late wife, Ruth, who died nine years earlier. She encourages him to hold on by sharing stories from their life together, including their meeting, the art they cherished, and the impact of WWII on their families. Though he knows Ruth isn't truly there, Ira clings to her memories, revisiting both the joys and sorrows of their marriage. Meanwhile, at a bull-riding event, college senior Sophia Danko is navigating life after a breakup when she meets Luke, a cowboy who contrasts sharply with her privileged peers. Through Luke, Sophia is drawn into a world where survival and success are intertwined with life and death. As their romance blossoms, she begins to envision a future that diverges from her original plans—one that Luke could transform, provided his hidden secret doesn’t unravel it first. The lives of Ira and Ruth, along with Sophia and Luke, intersect in unexpected ways, illustrating that even the toughest choices can lead to extraordinary journeys, transcending despair and death to explore the depths of the human heart.
