After a heated argument, Clara's fiancé stormed out of their apartment, but before they have a chance to reconcile, he died in a tragic accident.

What she doesn't realize is that the number has been reassigned.
Across town, Sven's phone begins receiving mysterious but heartfelt text messages. He doesn't respond, but he is captivated by the sender.
