In the world of birdwatching, a "Big Year" is the ultimate challenge: spotting the most species of birds in a single calendar year. Three avid birders take on this quest, each with their own reasons for participating. Kenny Bostick is out to defend his title and prove he's still got it; Stu Preissler is recently retired and looking for adventure; and Brad Harris is trying to escape his mundane life and find meaning. As they crisscross North America, following migration patterns and chasing storms that force birds to ground, they discover unexpected lessons about friendship, family, and what truly brings happiness.
