Once brimming with joy and passion, Alexander's world is shattered when he loses his beloved wife, Emily, in a tragic accident. Gripped by grief, he becomes a mere shadow of his former self, distancing himself from the very notion of love. With a heart now encased in ice, Alexander finds solace in his work as a successful architect and in caring for his two young children, Ava and Ethan. He dedicates himself entirely to them, channeling all his energy into their happiness, but remains convinced that love has abandoned him forever.
