The film is based on the life of Jan Hurst. Jan is the daughter of an overly protective militant father, but that doesn't stop her from falling in love with Steve, a young G.I. in the Air Force. The couple must find a way to win over her father so they may be married. In the future, a devastating car crash leaves her (now) husband on life support; she must keep faith in God as she faces the prospect of his passing. Recalling their courtship through flashbacks, she relives out the early days of their relationship.
