Jane is paralyzed with grief after the sudden passing of her husband and can't find the strength to leave her house to retrieve the paper. She meticulously follows her morning ritual and continues to set a place for her deceased husband in the hopes he'll return to join her. She encounters Walter, an older gentleman, who innocently strikes up a conversation. Walter's kindhearted gesture of bringing the morning paper to Jane's front door breaks through her isolation and she invites him to join her for coffee. A friendship ensues and they build a bond over a new morning ritual. Walter inquires about the extra place setting, and they are forced to face the ghosts of their past and the grief that haunts them. Their shared experiences provide an opportunity for each to open-up about their struggles and understand they are not alone in grief. One morning, Walter's absence compels Jane to face her fears head on and take her first steps off her porch. Her journey brings her to realize there are always angels among us and that in our darkest times, they will find a way to light the way when we need it most. Sometimes these angels join us for Coffee at Dawn.
