In the serene quiet of St. Benedict's Monastery, an unlikely healing begins.
Milo Nightingale, a children's party clown known professionally as "Mr. Giggles," is struggling to find meaning beyond birthday parties when his biggest gig is suddenly canceled. Olympia "Ollie" Paxton is a guarded travel nurse who avoids emotional attachment by constantly moving from one temporary assignment to the next.
When they're brought together to help Alex, a traumatized seven-year-old boy who hasn't spoken since losing his parents, they must navigate the monastery's strict rules and their growing feelings for each other. Their unorthodox approach to healing Alex – through secret, gentle clowning – risks discovery at every turn.
As Alex begins to respond, Milo and Ollie find themselves facing not only opposition from within the monastery but their own personal demons – Milo's fear of professional failure and Ollie's reluctance to finally put down roots.
A heartwarming story about finding joy in unexpected places, healing through laughter, and the courage to choose love over fear.
