Darcy Miller (Rachel Boston) is a reserved science nerd microbiologist. Her grant proposal is too scientific, too complicated, and she has no use for imagination. She is put together with writing professor Nathan Riley (Jesse Moss) to pump it up. A storm causes damage to the family storage and she finds a list from her late mother. It's a list of things that her mother wanted to give away to various people. She runs into Nathan who convinces her to finish her mother's list.
I love the concept but I don't buy these characters. I don't buy her as a closed off science nerd and I don't buy him as a free spirit zen master. She should at least wear some nerdy glasses and he should be wearing a hookah shell necklace. I also noticed something else. She's taller than him. They should talk to Tom Cruise about that. Otherwise, I like the premise of finding yourself in completing your mother's wish list. That has real power as long as it's done right. It's asking a lot for Hallmark.
