Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson finds himself injured and stranded after a car crash, struggling to stay conscious.

Despite knowing Ruth isn't physically there, Ira clings to her words, reliving the joys and sorrows of their marriage. Meanwhile, at a local bull-riding event, college senior Sophia Danko's life takes a turn when she meets Luke, a young cowboy who contrasts sharply with the privileged boys at her school.
