When Alice receives a mysterious letter from a stranger writing from 1985, she's determined to find the man who wrote it... But could chasing a miracle cost her the future?
A letter arrives at Alice's new house, interrupting her fresh start. It's addressed to her, but written by a man she's never met. And yet Michael understands her - her grief, her fears, even her dreams.
As more letters follow, Alice becomes convinced that she and Michael are connected somehow - that they are meant to meet. Or perhaps, in some impossible way, they already have.
But there's one complication: Michael isn't just a stranger - he's writing from four decades in the past. And as Alice searches for a man who may no longer be waiting, she must decide whether love can truly defy time - or whether she's risking the chance at happiness right in front of her.
