A divorcee embarks on her “year of yes” and crosses paths with a shy but sensitive birdwatcher who changes her life in this charming rom-com.
Recently divorced and on the brink of becoming an empty-nester, Celeste is ready for adventure. But when a friend asks her to be his temporary girlfriend at a bird-watching contest, she ends up partnering with John, a quiet bird enthusiast looking to start his own business. As they navigate their fake relationship, they also become unlikely - and intimate - teammates.
Celeste can’t tell a sparrow from a swallow, but John is a great teacher, and the hours they spend hiking in the Arizona wilderness feed Celeste’s hunger for new adventures while giving John a chance to practice his dream job. As the two spend more time together, they end up watching more than just the birds, and their chemistry becomes undeniable. Since they’re both committed to the single life, Celeste suggests a status upgrade: birders with benefits, just until the contest is done. But as the bird count goes up and their time together ticks down, John and Celeste will have to decide if their benefits can last a lifetime, or if this love affair is for the birds.
