Two years after her husband Mark’s death, a woman enters their untouched garage, filled with memories of their life together. While grieving, she decides to face the space and begins sifting through Mark’s belongings. She finds a hidden safe containing a letter from Mark, revealing a long-kept secret: he had a daughter, Lily, from a previous relationship. Mark had given Lily up for adoption when she was three, fearing he couldn’t provide for her. In the letter, he asks his wife to reach out to Lily and be the mother he couldn’t be. The woman contacts Lily, and they form a close bond. Over time, Lily brings healing, and the woman finds a new sense of purpose, realizing that love and connection can emerge even from grief.
