Finley Sinclair, a young violinist who appears confident, fails the audition at the renowned
music institution in Manhattan from the New York music conservatory. Her mother embraces
her and tries to console her as she looks at her sorrowful face after she returns home and
realises what occurred. In the upcoming fall, Finley plans to give her final audition her all,
and her mother encourages her to do so. Finley's mother tells her to switch up
the environment to lift her mood. Finley decides to register in the identical course
that her deceased brother Alex took: the semester abroad program in Ireland.
The following week, Finley purchases a ticket to Ireland. When she boards the aircraft,
just as she was about to place her violin in the hand luggage compartment,
an air hostess (Gemma Quinlan) asks her if she would like to move to a first class seat since
there is an extra seat opened up. Finley smiled and nodded her head. As she moved towards the
first-class seat. The hostess directs her to a seat and assists her in finding it;
a man is already seated on the window side, so Finley takes the other seat.
The same flight attendant brings her a magazine to read during her downtime
once she settles into her seat. She realises that the new movie poster
for a number of well-known actors is displayed on the front page.
After some while, Finley unintentionally snoozes on the man's shoulder next to her. Gemma,
the flight attendant instructed the man sitting next to Finley to rouse her up
and remind her to fasten her seatbelt after she, who was scanning the other passengers,
discovered that Finley had not buckled up. As the smiling flight attendant departs,
the man nods. Finley is softly roused from sleep by the man's remarks that he doesn't
mind a stunning woman peacefully drooling on his shoulder. He does this without moving a
muscle. When Finely hears this, she wakes up and uses the back of her hand to wipe her lips.
He goes on to remark that she has to fasten her seatbelt and that her snores
are adorable. She begins to apologise to the man as she buckles her seatbelt,
surprised by her own behaviour, and later apologies and thanks him again.
She suddenly realised that the man was the same person from the magazine's cover and was Beckett
Rush, a well-known movie star and the lead in a series of fantasy dragon movies. In disbelief,
Finely Low yells out his name as Beckett calms her down and tells her not to scream.
As astonished as she was to realise it, she didn't like the superstar's friendly demeanour.
He talks as if Finley was one of his insane followers and organised the entire thing. He
says that maybe it was a plan to make the hostess place Finley's seat next to his so
that she may get an autograph and take a selfie with him after landing, but Beckett wanted her
to stay put for the moment just so they don't draw any attention to themselves. Finley claims
that because she dislikes celebrities who live in a bubble and understands his
type. The type that confuses arrogance with confidence, she feels restrained with him.
Since she already knows Beck, he asks her for her name during the chat. After she identifies
herself, he asks her once more what she plans to accomplish in Ireland. She responds with a smile,
adding that she plans to study abroad for a semester as her older brother did and that she
hopes it would transform her life as well. She agrees and replies that life may be difficult,
unlike those like him who live in a bubble, as interested as Beck is,
he asks if she has any life troubles. When Beck discloses that this is his
fourth trip to Ireland for the shooting, they begin to discuss Irish town life.
Later, Finley tried to pass the time by reading the magazine,
but Beck was equally focused on the papers, so Finley kept turning the pages. Unexpectedly,
one of the upsetting pieces with Beck's personal photos in it arrives. Beck
murmurs that he too doesn't like the piece as Finley's eyebrows quiver. Beck sits still
during the entire trip as Finley shuts the magazine and leans back in her seat.
The following morning, when the flight from New York to Ireland lands,
Finley takes her baggage and wanders the airport in search of her family and her host,
the Callahan family. She turns around when she hears loud yells coming from behind her
and sees Beckett's followers swarming around him, begging for photographs and autographs.
As she sighs hard and searches in front of her for her family, a girl suddenly runs towards her,
leaps on her, and calls Finley's name as she fiercely embraces and kisses her cheeks.
Finely wonders if she is Emma Callahan as she embraces her and smiles in surprise. Finley
and Emma were sisters for four months, according to Emma, who also stated that
Finley is exactly as she appeared in the photo. As Finley carefully sets Emma down,
she remarks that it was wonderful meeting her. As she clutches Finley's violin set
box and tries to open it, Emma continues by mentioning that movie superstar Beckett is
at the same airport as them and asking if Finley loves him too.
Finley begins to panic. As Finley calmly tries to grab the box from Emma and declares that she
is not a big fan of arrogant people, Emma exclaims loudly and joyfully that she is a big fan of his.
Emma's parents (Nora and Sean Callahan) enter the space from behind and give Finley a bear
embrace as the two girls continue talking. Nora claims that they adored her brother
and considered him to be a member of the family, and Sean concurs. Nora, who is beaming broadly,
continues by saying that they recently inherited a bed and breakfast; Sean, her husband,
has since left the military, and they are managing it together and figuring it out as Sean displays
his damaged hands. They later take her to the lodge where Alex had stayed while touring Ireland.
Finley takes in the magnificent Irish streets as she travels from the airport to the lodger. When
they get to the lodger, Emma beckons Finley inside and informs him that she will show him
around later but first needs to see his room. As they ascend, Emma reveals that she was granted the
room with the best view of the outside and adds that her grandmother used to reside in that room
before passing away there. Later, she notes that because Emma's room is next to Finley's,
she can depend on her if she needs assistance or just someone to talk to.
Emma is told to leave the room by Nora, who also reminds her
that she has college orientation the following day and that Finley needs to
relax. Finley is left alone when Emma and her mother storm out of the room.
The following morning, as everyone welcomed Finley, Nora and Sean were busy putting
breakfast on the table for their new visitor who was standing at the kitchen door. When her mother
calls her name and prevents her from entering the dining room, Emma, who was blissfully enjoying
her breakfast and trying to fix her ponytail, approaches the room. According to Nora, Emma
engaged the visitor in a 30-minute conversation on her collection of earthworms the previous time.
While chatting, Nora turned around and accidently bumped into Sean, spilling the entire jar of
cranberry juice all over him. Sean claims that the meal he prepared is growing cold and that they
cannot afford to serve it while it is a complete mess, let alone risk receiving a bad review.
Then Finley agrees as she collects the platter and heads inside after Nora asks to serve the ready,
warm breakfast to the guest. As she was going to serve him his breakfast, she noticed a man
seated on one of the dining room chairs. The man then startled Finley by turning around. She asked
him what he was doing here, and when she realised it was superstar Beckett, her eyes widened. Beck
teases Finley by saying that he is the lodger's guest and by asking if she is stalking him.
Brushing off Finley's remark and saying that she is living in one of these rooms and that
she expected him to be in one of the boujee hotels with his harem. Beck responds as politely as he
can that the lodger they are staying with is a boujee and its posh as the cookery is expected
to be good. Then Finley tries to leave as Beck says he hopes she won't sneak into his room if she
has the chance. Finley responds inadvertently by saying she won't even if the visitor annoys her.
After she eventually excuses herself and departs from Beck alone. Beck intentionally pronounces her
name incorrectly before walking away, however, when she corrects him and grins. When Emma
unexpectedly appears from behind and hears Finley ask Nora what Beck was doing in their dining room,
she is in wonder and cannot believe what Finley just said. Beck then emerges from the dining room
to grab some jam, and Emma drops her lunch box in shock and begins to behave awkwardly.
As soon as Beck departs, Emma begins to sob strangely. Nora grips her shoulders and
tells her not to tell anybody about this since they are trying to keep him out of
the media and they cannot afford to get a poor review from a particular celebrity from another
country. Emma argues that the information will be quickly spread across the town,
but Nora counters that as long as they keep quiet, nobody will find out.
Later at school, Emma and Finley were sitting by the corner of the hockey playground when Emma's
friend Orla enters and says that nearly the entire town knows about Beck staying at their lodger.
The conversation turns to a dancing festival that the Irish people hold once a year in the
Autumn. Where their parents fall in love and every year a guy is supposed to ask a girl out
for a dance. While Emma expresses her frustration, the conversation shifts to the dancing festival.
Finley speculates that perhaps this will be Emma's year, but Emma maintains a detached
demeanour as she dismisses the possibility by claiming that Beckett is not her type.
The next day, Beckett was on set filming his scene where the female lead must be taken far
away to protect her from the dragons and enemies. As they continue to run,
a massive dragon suddenly shows up in front of them. Beck and Taylor were getting ready
to fight the dragon when the director abruptly said, 'Cut,' and he was pulled away from the
crew and questioned about why he deviated from the script. Which Beck claims is why he wanted to try
something different. The director jokingly threatens Beck that if he doesn't improve,
he might as well have to assassinate Beck's character in the movie.
The director has stated that he will pay Beckett his appropriate compensation,
and Beck should take care to avoid making any mistakes, warns Beckett's
cunning father Montgomery, who was observing everything. Beckett could only barely agree
with his father and replay the scene when he asks for some distance from him because
he needs to clear his head. Montgomery then leaves Beckett to fend for himself.
The next evening, as Finley was getting ready to practise her violin in her room,
Nora knocked on the door and apologised for not being able to help her tour the tourist
attractions because she and Sean would be too busy taking care of the B&B due to a few circumstances.
Nora then mentioned that a few weeks prior, while cleaning the room, she had discovered
Alex's journal and hoped that it might be useful for Finley's tour. They later share some emotional
interactions while recalling the late Alex and how much he cherished his time in Ireland.
Finley was scanning the journal when she came to the last page and noticed a cross
drawing with the figure's title under it has her name written. As
she tried to interpret the art, she became perplexed. The following day,
Emma brings Finley to a cemetery in an attempt to locate the cross that her brother had drawn,
but she comes away empty-handed. The following evening, Finley struggles to concentrate on her
violin practice and is about to forgo when she hears a knock at her door. She assumes
it might be Nora, but is astonished to see Beck standing on the other side of the door.
Beck approaches Finley for assistance with his lines,
and Finley promptly rejects him. Beck teases her by mispronouncing her name once more,
setting Finley off. Beckett eventually said that things on set have been pretty difficult for him
and that he needs to gather himself and reform his lines and emotions after failing to persuade
Finley. Beck lets himself in when he notices a diary on her bed. Finley tries to stop him
but fails. As he tries to look in the book, Finley finally says that the last sketch is
confusing her and she doesn't understand why her brother would put her name at the bottom.
When Beck learns that her brother has passed away, he unintentionally instructs her to text him,
but then as soon as he does, he becomes immediately guilty. Suddenly Finley offers to
assist Beck with his lines, and as they begin, she starts to giggle at the words and Beck's delivery
of them. Later, after he has calmed down, he begins acting by putting all of his emotion
into the lines. Unexpectedly, it improved and assisted Beckett in gathering himself.
Finley is tasked with caring for an elderly person in the interim as part of her Irish
Studies classes. When she arrives at the nursing home, she meets Cathleen Sweeney,
an elderly woman who is irritable. Finley tries to acquire a new assignment but is regrettably left
with the cranky witch. The following day, Finley visits the nursing room and tries to read a Jane
Austen novel while remaining seated in front of Cathleen. When Cathleen begins to scream,
Finley is forced to leave, but her nurse is amazed by Finley's persistence and
allows her to stay for as long as she likes. One day, Finley was exploring the cemetery by
herself when Beckett approached her and proposed that if she could help him with his lines,
he would be his tour guide. Beckett had previously mentioned in front of the Callaghans that after he
started to practise with Finley, his director gave him high praise, so he seized the chance
while she had no one to act as her guide. Finally, he was successful in persuading her and escorting
her to the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, a region known for its rich greenery.
They take a tour of the area before relaxing and having a lengthy talk about life while they sit
down. Where Finley learns that Beck's filming life prevented him from finishing college.
The following week, Beck extends an invitation to Finley to visit
his filming location so she can see Taylor and meet Beck's father,
who is having an awkward talk with his son in front of Finley. Cathleen becomes upset
with Finley for sneaking onto her drawers while they talk about Cathleen's letter.. Finley asks
Beckett to come to the nursing home. Beck shows in at that precise moment, chats with Catheleen,
and brightens the atmosphere. He is a very good boy, Cathleen remarks when he departs.
Later, while doing her grocery shopping, Finley questions Nora about Cathleen and how she learned
about her background. There is a widespread rumour throughout the town that she stole her sister's
fiance before divorcing him after a while. He drank booze nonstop until he passed away because
he was so depressed about it. Finley, however, had a hard time accepting it. The next evening, while
she was still having trouble with her thoughts, Beck came to her door and persuaded her to join
him on a nighttime walk. Finley had anticipated him to take her to a nightclub or pub and she was
right. It was the pub where Molly worked, who she had met a few days earlier while out with Emma.
The town's drunkard violinist Seamus, who has been written off by most people but is seeking
to prove his value once more, is introduced to Finley by Beck there. When Beck woke him up and
asked for a song, he was once more dozing off on the free bench at the bar. Utilising this,
Beck asks Seamus to approach Finley and showcase her abilities. She is given direction by Seamus,
who also advises her to express her enthusiasm for the violin. Everyone in the pub was supportive of
Finley as she was finally able to enjoy playing violin for the first time without worrying. Beck
eventually asks Finley to dance, and as they converse, they have a little intimate moment.
Emma watches them through her room window when they return to the lodger and realises
what is going on between them. Despite their best efforts to keep it a secret,
the Callaghan family learns about their kiss and decides to stay cautious.
The days pass as Beck gives Finley a tour of Ireland while doing well in his sets
and having a great time with the Callaghans, while Finley is taking violin lessons from
Seamus. Beck arranges a date for Finley one day, and the two of them visit the venue where
Finley originally met Taylor. While having fun, fooling around with stunt harnesses on the set,
Beckett's two female buddies organise food and decorate the area for them.
Additionally, his father advises him to start signing up for the numerous contract
offers he is currently receiving. Up until his father disclosed a negative article about him,
Beck was doing well on the set of his movie and was getting lots of compliments from everyone.
Finely visits the nursing home the next day and talks to Cathleen about how her days went on,
when she was told to bring her violin because she would like to hear her play. After some time,
Finley inquires about the incident and Cathleen's sister. While Finley attempts to
persuade her that she doesn't truly believe that narrative and wants to hear the truth from her.
As she commanded Finley to mind her own business,
Cathleen was both apprehensive and incensed. Cath offers Finley a piece of paper and informs her
that she has bone cancer and that she only has a limited amount of time left to live.
Soon after Finley arrives at Beck's set to assist him with his lines,
Beck receives a call to report to the set as his father walks in. He agrees when Finley
states that she has an emergency involving Cathleen and departs. When Finley realises
that Beckett is controlling his life. Beckett's father seizes the opportunity
when he sees Finley alone and tries to caution her to maintain a professional relationship.
Finley exits the scene and immediately approaches Seamus to discuss Cathleen. He says the same thing
as everyone else, but he adds that he has certain reservations and finds it difficult to make some
connections. He would like to go in search of Fiona, Cathleen's biological younger sister,
with her. Even though Finley had stated Cath was dying, she shuts the door in Fiona's face when
she approaches her and introduces herself as her sister's friend. When Finley confides her distress
to Beckett, the two are trying to come up with a solution when Taylor enters, hugs Beck from
behind, and displays a photo from when he was 15 years old. She attempts to irritate Finley.
The following day, when Beck was trying to convince Finley that
there was nothing standing between them while they were out jogging,
a car pulled up, and several females got out and started taking pictures with him.
Beck, however, persuades her to be his prom for the Irish Autumn prom night and urges her to do
so. The local folk dance, and the night passes without incident. Finley is invited to join Seamus
in playing the violin with him to further enhance the beauty of the evening. In the meantime,
Beck asks Emma to dance which shocks Emma but she eventually accepts his offer as they enjoy
their dance. After Finley is performed, they dance and have a little private moment. When
Finely tells Beck about how her brother passed away after returning from Ireland,
the couple is sitting on a bench by the lake admiring the nighttime scenery of Ireland.
The following evening when they returned to the lodging,
they were astonished to see Taylor and Beck's father waiting for them. While those two attempt
to manipulate and exert pressure on Beck, Beck, who is attempting to protect Finley,
takes a step back and admits that she really doesn't comprehend him as well as
Taylor does. Finley leaves them on his own, feeling embarrassed and enraged.
The following week, Beck approaches Finley via Seamus, and they get into a brief dispute during
which Finley asserts that she is unable to lead a dual life like him. Beck, who felt utterly
helpless, was unable to say anything and let Finley depart. Finley sobs next to Emma that
night, and Emma remarks that Finley was likely the first and only girl to make Beckett Rush whimper.
The following day, Finley visits Cathleen and explains that she came to Ireland in
order to understand the greater significance of how nothing goes as planned or as expected.
Cathleen is astonished by this statement and extends her hand to invite Finley over. She
is honest with her about the incident, revealing that her father had a sizable debt. He arranged
Fiona's marriage to a wealthy Charles Sweeney in order to keep their home. She says that in
their time family name was everything and their family name was quite important in town. However,
Cathleen married Charles despite his physical abuse of her sister
in order to protect her. Even though she left him when she had the chance,
he was already an alcoholic, therefore Cathleen had little influence on how he died.
Finley goes to Fiona after learning all of this, but because it was raining, she was unable to
ride her bike up the hills and had to phone Beck instead. They are straightforward with her and
let her know that Cath's final wish is for her to grant her forgiveness. Later, Beckett confronted
his father and told him he would take one final movie for the next six months to help the team and
ended all his possible connection with Taylor. Following that, Beckett will indeed enroll in
college and have a self-determined existence. His actions repaired his relationship with Finley.
One day Beck tells Finely where the cross Alex drew in his book is and guides her there. Finley
was inspired to perform her best at the last New York music conservatory audition. When Finley
learned that Cathleen's condition was getting worse, she was about to go to New York. She
immediately went to the elderly woman instead of the audition out of empathy. Fiona made
a last-minute decision to see her sister at the nursing home, carrying out her final wish. The two
sisters loved one another and Fiona had sympathy for Cathleen. Cathleen passed away quietly.
With the aid of Fiona, who, shockingly, has a connection to the New York music conservatory,
the institution granted Finley admission even after the deadline. She gave her
best at her violin audition, remembering the delicate experiences she had lived
through throughout her trip to Ireland. Finley was given the opportunity to play
violin in the Autumn conservatory, and Beck began to lead a normal life.
