Project Synopsis
Emma, a young woman living on her late father’s farm, moves through the quiet routine of tending to chickens and delivering eggs, burdened by the life she never intended to inherit. When an old classmate, Taylor, unexpectedly visits with interest in buying the property, she is forced to confront her complicated feelings about staying or leaving.

Description
Taylor Perry is a young man in his mid-to-late twenties, polished but slightly out of place in Emma’s rural world. Dressed in a blazer and black jeans, he carries himself with the easy confidence of someone accustomed to city life, yet there's an underlying uncertainty in his demeanor. A former party boy and the son of a real estate agent, he has followed in his father’s footsteps, though whether out of ambition or obligation remains unclear. Nostalgic and well-meaning, Taylor is polite and affable, but his visit to Emma’s farm is motivated by business rather than sentimentality. However, as the night unfolds, his practical nature softens into something more introspective. While he doesn’t consider himself a dreamer, he respects Emma’s quiet struggle, offering an outside perspective that forces her to confront her own choices.
