Hailey Rose

Hailey Rose is a contemporary family comedy about love in all its expressions. Twentysomething Hailey hasn't been back to her coastal Nova Scotia hometown in a decade. Now, recently unemployed and running out of excuses as to why she shouldn't move in with her non-binary partner, Syd, her frantic sister calls with news compelling her to return home - only to discover a stunning surprise waiting for her. 
Before Hailey can return to her protected life out west, she must face some startling truths - about both her parents, the effects of her sudden departure on her sister and closest friends, her feelings for Syd, and the fate of one rundown old fishing boat. A comically tragic and heart-warming tale about running away, facing your past and accepting your loved ones, old and new.
