In a small town, an experienced wildland firefighter, Joe, finds his life taking an unexpected turn when he dies in an accident while battling flames. However, his story doesn't end there; Joe becomes a spirit that remains on Earth, caught between the world of the living and the beyond. His love for his girlfriend, a talented artist named Julia, is so strong that he refuses to let her go.
As Julia tries to move on with her life, Joe becomes a spiritual protector, watching over her from the shadows and trying to help her in her moments of need.

Joe, jealous yet understanding, faces a dilemma: should he allow his beloved to find happiness with someone else, or fight for her love, even from the beyond?
With a bittersweet tone and touches of comedy, the film delves into themes of life, death, and eternal love.
