Summary: "Alice Holtzman (44) is stuck in a dead-end job and bereft of family. Alice has begun having panic attacks whenever she thinks about how her life. Even the beloved honeybees she raises in her spare time aren't helping her feel better these days. In the grip of a panic attack, she nearly collides with Jake--a troubled, paraplegic teenager. Charmed by Jake's sincere interest in her bees and seeking to rescue him from his toxic home life, Alice surprises herself by inviting Jake to her farm. And then there's Harry, a 24-year-old with debilitating social anxiety who is desperate for work. When he applies to Alice's ad for part-time farm help, he's shocked to find himself hired. As an unexpected friendship blossoms among the three, a pesticide company moves to town, threatening the local honeybee population and revealing corruption in the community. The trio must unite for the sake of the bees--and in the process, they might forge a new future for themselves."
