I Love You revolves around a young woman with breast cancer who undertakes a mission to find a new wife for her husband before she passes away. Twenty-seven-year-old Daisy already beat breast cancer four years ago. How can this be happening to her again?

It’s this fear that keeps her up at night, until she stumbles on the solution: she has to find him another wife.
