Plot:
Rosie Dunne and Alex Stewart have been inseparable since they were five years old, dreaming of leaving their small Irish town for a future together in America. On the night of their high school prom, a series of miscommunications and an unexpected pregnancy for Rosie with another boy, Greg, derails their plans. Alex moves to Boston to study at Harvard, while Rosie stays behind in Ireland to raise her daughter, Katie, sacrificing her own dreams of attending university.
Over the next twelve years, their lives diverge significantly. Alex finds success and enters into serious relationships, eventually marrying Sally. Rosie, meanwhile, struggles with motherhood, works various jobs, and endures a tumultuous marriage with Greg, who proves to be unfaithful. Despite the distance and their separate paths, Rosie and Alex maintain a sporadic but heartfelt correspondence, sharing their joys and heartbreaks, always wondering "what if." They attempt to reunite several times, only for fate or circumstance to intervene, such as Alex's new girlfriend showing up unexpectedly or Rosie being unable to travel. As they both mature and face various life crises, including divorce and loss, they slowly begin to realize the depth of their feelings for each other, culminating in a poignant reunion that finally gives them the chance to be together.
