Dr. Aris Thorne, a botanist who trusts only in empirical data, travels to the ancient Whisperwood to study a rare bioluminescent moss. Her guide is Finnian O’Connell, a local folklorist who navigates by stories and the forest’s spirit rather than a compass. As the misty woods challenge Aris’s scientific certainty, she finds herself drawn to Finn’s enchanting worldview and the man himself. In a hidden grove that glows with otherworldly light, logic and magic collide, forcing Aris to confront the data her heart has been collecting. She must decide if she will return to the sterile certainty of her lab or stay and cultivate a new, unquantifiable life where the greatest discoveries are found not under a microscope, but in the magic of a shared glance.
