Blanche, a 16-year-old whose adventurous spirit won't allow her to accept anything but a life full of wondrous experiences, is always ready for what comes next. Meanwhile, Walter, a 23-year-old mechanic and musician, is determined to find his fortune in gold. Their lives couldn't be more separate until an accident in their small Oregon town brings them together. These two ordinary people embrace the world together—facing the hard realities, failures, and trauma that life throws at them. Through it all, the two never give up on their dreams, believing something magical is just around the corner. With devotion and stubbornness, they pursue each other's passions and embark on a journey in search of fortune. During their time together, they shared a lifetime of wounds and wonders, thousands of dances, and many disappointments along the way, and when they inevitably fall in love, the world is turned upside down. Their love never fades, their music is always sweet, and on their search for gold, they find something far greater in value than what can be found in the mines.
