A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.

But her past holds many secrets—including Jake, the redneck husband she married in high school, who refuses to divorce her.
