Milk is a twenty-six-year-old office worker and a dedicated student who has just won a full scholarship. However, her dream of studying abroad is threatened by a global economic crisis.
Meanwhile, in Mitchelstown, Ireland, Cherlyn is struggling to keep her small cheese farm and factory alive. Her business is facing many challenges due to poor government decisions and a spreading pandemic.
To save her business, Cherlyn decides to hire a postgraduate student to help her come up with a new strategy. She expects professional advice, but Milk’s arrival brings so much more than just business solutions.
As they work together, Milk begins to break down the walls around Cherlyn’s heart—a heart that has been closed to love for a long time. In the quiet countryside of Ireland, Cherlyn finds herself feeling things she hasn't felt in years.
