A televised ice-bucket stunt destroys a woman's life, but quiet devotion spanning 1,178 days leads her to a new future.
Seven years of silence collapse in a single broadcast when Kai douses Elowen with ice water to shield a newcomer, ending her career overnight. He then leaves her stranded on a mountain road, severing their bond without explanation. Meanwhile, another man has spent 1,178 days crossing the distance between them with steady, deliberate steps. When remorse finally surfaces, Elowen rejects the apologies, choosing instead to bury the past and marry the one who never stopped walking toward her.
