Dr. Lisa Leland is a brilliant surgeon with absolutely no bedside manner. She is leaving her practice at UCLA Hospital to move to the Hamptons where she will join her boyfriend as a concierge doctor, treating the rich and famous. As she drives cross-country to her new life she hits a tractor in Normal, North Carolina and her BMW is wrecked. Dr. Leland is found guilty of speeding and ordered to do community service as a doctor in Normal, population 332. In a town with no wi-fi, no lattes and no credit cards, Lisa Leland begins to find herself and discovers what a meaningful life is all about.

A meditative journey through the shifting landscape of emotion and the hypnotic quality of our desires. Set to music by Citizen Cope and filmed entirely unscripted, Bird in Hand is an exploration of a young man's struggle to let go of unfulfilled dreams to make way for life's possibilities. Stunning sequences from the streets of San Francisco to the lush greenery of Louisiana give way to artful portrayals from an ensemble cast.
