After a life-changing diagnosis forces her to face her fears, Emma decides it''s time to truly live - before it''s too late. With Jake and his vibrant friend Vee, she dives into a whirlwind of experiences: a fake engagement, dazzling parties, and an obsession with the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker, a bird that may not even exist.
