Finding You

Finley is on a flight to Ireland when a flight attendant offers her a vacant business-class seat. She wakes to Beckett Rush, the movie star whose shoulder she had fallen asleep on. Beckett is in Ireland to shoot a film, and Finley dismisses him as arrogant.

Upon landing, Beckett is immediately swamped by fans while Finley is greeted by her Irish host family, the Callaghans. Emma, the teenage daughter, is a megafan of Beckett, highlighting the clash between Finley’s ordinary world and his celebrity life. The two will cross paths again as the stay begins.

In the morning, Finley bumps into Beckett in the dining room and learns he is staying at the same B&B. The unexpected overlap at her hosts’ home adds a new dynamic to their Ireland visit. It sets the stage for their ongoing interactions.

The next day Finley attends school while Beckett is on set. His manager-father Montgomery reminds him to keep the director happy, underscoring the pressure of ongoing film deals. The contrast between Finley’s academic life and Beckett’s film schedule becomes a recurring theme.

Nora Callaghan gives Finley her late brother’s notebook full of writings and sketches. Finley is especially drawn to the last unfinished sketch labeled with her own name and resolves to track it down. This becomes Finley’s personal mission during the visit.

Beckett convinces Finley to help him run his lines, and in return he offers to help locate the sketch and show her the sights. They begin working together closely, blending acting practice with the mystery of the unfinished sketch. A new partnership forms between them.

In her extension course, Finley must complete a service contract by accompanying a local senior citizen for at least 20 hours and then write a paper on the experience. The assignment pushes her to engage with the Irish community beyond the usual activities. It also anchors her stay with real-world, compassionate work.

In town, Finley meets drunken fiddler Seamus and pub owner Molly. Beckett takes her to the Cliffs of Moher, where he confesses he wishes he could live incognito. The day deepens their connection and reveals vulnerability beneath his celebrity persona.

Finley stops by the set to run Beckett’s lines, and his co-star Taylor introduces herself as a potential rival in the romantic stakes. Beckett also charms Mrs. Sweeney during a visit to her home, hinting at a broader, protective circle around Finley. The pleasure of the trip is tempered by the on-set dynamics.

Beckett brings Finley to Molly’s pub, where paparazzi are kept at bay. Sean teaches Finley to play the violin with joy, and she and Beckett share a kiss, deepening their bond. The moment solidifies their relationship despite the looming spotlight.

Back at the B&B, Beckett suggests keeping their relationship secret to shield Finley from tabloids, while his father feeds them false love-triangle propaganda. The couple navigates secrecy against a backdrop of public curiosity. This tension foreshadows future complications.

A photo of Beckett and Finley kissing at a local festival leaks to Taylor, and their lodgings are leaked to the press. Montgomery tries to pressure them with emotional blackmail to maintain the ruse. The couple faces a critical moment where personal choice collides with public image.

Finley offers to help Mrs. Sweeney repair relations with her sister Fiona Doyle, who is terminally ill and reluctant to engage. They reveal that Cathleen had once offered to marry Mr. Sweeney to help pay off his gambling debt and protect her sister, but the elder woman refuses the plan. The family’s past shapes their present decisions.

Finley misses her flight and an audition in order to be by Cathleen’s deathbed; Fiona arrives just in time to help make peace. Beckett finds Cathleen’s gravestone and leaves Finley a clue, then tells her he’ll do one more movie and head to NYC for college. Finley finally wins her late audition, delayed but successful.

After the Ireland chapter, Finley and Beckett move to New York City. They begin dating while she studies at a music conservatory and he attends college, balancing love with their careers and ambitions in the city.
