Synopsis

Painfully shy Callum Flannelly can only inherit his family's undertaking business if he marries before his 35th birthday. Texan animator Lark Thompson has moved to Galway to escape memories of her late husband, not to live next door to a funeral home. When she learns of Callum's deadline, Lark sets out to help him find The One, even though she's sworn off love herself.

As their dating project drags on, straight-laced, sarcastic Callum starts cracking the ice around Lark's grieving heart — and the more joy she brings into his grey existence, the harder it is for him to imagine sending her back to Texas. An opposites-attract romantic dramedy about grief, second chances, and finding love where you least expect it.
