Walter's world is shaken when his beloved grandfather, Grampy Rick, dies. The man who was his anchor, storyteller, and compass is suddenly gone, leaving Walter lost in grief. But Grampy has left behind something unexpected. Inside a small wooden box are six simple objects, each tied to a riddle and a memory. Together they form six pieces of forever, a gift meant to guide Walter on a journey of healing, courage, and discovery.

Along the path, he meets mentors with wisdom to share, rivals who test him, and friends who stand by his side. Each object reveals a lesson about strength, love, and the power of connection. What begins as a boy's search for answers becomes an adventure that changes how he sees his grandfather, himself, and the world around him.
