Melissa Garcia is a rising associate at a Chicago law firm, up for partner and quietly, stubbornly not-quite-over her tension with Todd, the firm's guarded IT guy. What she doesn't know: her chatty pet parrot has been repeating her private conversations to the neighbor next door — who's turning every word into a viral blog. When Todd discovers the blog and realizes whose life it's chronicling, he has to decide whether to tell her, and risk everything he's spent months not saying out loud.
A workplace slow-burn romantic comedy about the things we say when we think no one's listening — and the people who turn out to have been listening the whole time.
