Da un anno, ogni mattina, Arthur Pepper si sveglia alle sette, seguendo rituali precisi per affrontare il dolore per la perdita della moglie, Miriam. Solo così riesce a fingere che lei sia ancora con lui. Il giorno del primo anniversario della sua scomparsa, decide di riordinare gli oggetti di Miriam e trova una scatolina nascosta tra gli stivali. Dentro c'è un braccialetto con ciondoli a forma di tigre, fiore, elefante e libro. Inizialmente perplesso, scopre che un ciondolo ha un numero di telefono inciso, che chiama subito. Questo segna l'inizio di una sorprendente ricerca. Seguendo i ciondoli, Arthur intraprende un viaggio che lo porta in luoghi inaspettati: una spiaggia di Goa, Londra da un famoso scrittore, un'accademia d'arte con un ritratto di Miriam, una boutique a Parigi e un castello in campagna dove incontra una tigre. In ogni tappa, scopre una Miriam sconosciuta, che continua a insegnargli lezioni di vita. Questo viaggio gli ricorda che l'amore è una continua scoperta, che dura per tutta la vita e oltre.
