Heartbroken after surviving an unexpected car accident with his wife Jennies, Brian is desperate and giving up all hope of living without her. He immerses himself in silence, misery, and alcoholism.

However, when he forces himself to accept a job from his father-in-law, who is also his boss, designed for him to return to his birth city in Vietnam, where he'll work with his Uncle Tim, the President of Eastern Bank, to clinch an important contract, his entire world suddenly changes. His life turns upside down by a quirk of fate when he accidentally bumps into a woman outside the airport, who resembles his late wife.

Following her to where she works, he discovers she is an employee of Eastern Bank and also his uncle's secretary. His heart flips when he learns her name is Ngan.

Getting closer to Ngan and trying to win her heart, Brian intrigues with his uncle to take on a mailman job to disguise his character. From there, they become more than just colleagues.

In times of need, friendships are forged, and after Brian acts as an actor, pretending to be Ngan's beau to visit her family, and secretly helps Ngan rework her project, their relationship deepens. They are each surprised at the intimacy of their working and spending days and the impact their encounter brings - warmth, tears, laughter, wit, and wisdom.

They fall madly in love, and Brian has to return to Vietnam to marry Ngan. With a happy ending when Ngan finally immigrates to America, Brian has a different perspective on the fate that God has created.

Having Ngan in his life feels as if God has brought Jennies' life back to earth for a reunion with him, making Brian stop believing in tears he has shed. Along the way, he learns the meaning of true love and, ultimately, what fate really is.
