In a rural Oregon town, three lonely strangers navigate grief and life's challenges, unexpectedly finding friendship and healing on a local honeybee farm. Forty-four-year-old Alice Holtzman is grappling with the recent death of her husband and her unfulfilled dreams, leading to panic attacks that overshadow her love for beekeeping. During one such episode, she nearly collides with Jake, a troubled paraplegic teenager with a striking mohawk, while transporting 120,000 honeybees. Drawn to Jake's genuine interest in her bees, Alice invites him to her farm, hoping to rescue him from his toxic home life. Meanwhile, Harry, a socially anxious twenty-four-year-old, is desperate for work and applies for a part-time position on Alice's farm, where he is unexpectedly hired. As Alice, Jake, and Harry form an unlikely bond, they face a new threat—a pesticide company targeting the local honeybee population, exposing deep-rooted corruption in their community. Together, they must unite to protect the bees and, in doing so, discover new paths for their lives. This beautifully moving and uplifting story highlights the power of friendship, compassion in the face of loss, and the courage to start anew, regardless of age or circumstance.
