Amit Patel, a trauma doctor, experiences a life-altering event in 2013 when he loses his sight due to a rare condition. Overwhelmed and fearful, he becomes dependent on others and avoids leaving his home for three months after a traumatic incident. With support from his wife, Seema, Amit begins to adapt to his new reality, but struggles with the idea of ever regaining his former life. Everything changes when he meets Kika, a guide dog with a stubborn streak that nearly jeopardizes her training. Initially hesitant to trust a dog with his safety, Amit is paired with Kika in 2015, and together they embark on a transformative journey. As they learn to trust each other, Amit finds not only a renewed sense of independence but also a loyal companion. Their bond is put to the test when a viral video of an encounter with an irate commuter prompts Amit to advocate for positivity and inclusivity. Together, they tackle the challenges of navigating life without sight and embrace new experiences, including parenthood. This heartwarming story illustrates how one extraordinary dog can profoundly change a person's world.
