PlotElizabeth, a young woman dealing with heartbreak, finds solace in a small New York café run by Jeremy, a kind British man. Unable to face the immediate pain of her breakup, she leaves her keys with Jeremy, promising to return. Over time, the café becomes a place of comfort for her, symbolized by the blueberry pies she consumes there. Their late-night talks reveal shared loneliness, sparking a subtle bond. But Elizabeth's restlessness pushes her beyond this haven, deciding to leave New York in search of something more, leaving behind an unspoken connection with Jeremy.
Embarking on a cross-country journey, Elizabeth takes various jobs in different states, meeting a series of individuals each with their own stories of love and loss. These encounters, including a troubled cop in Memphis and a gambler in Nevada, shape her understanding of relationships and self-worth. Through these experiences, Elizabeth begins to see the world and her place in it differently, using each encounter to heal and discover her own resilience. Meanwhile, Jeremy finds himself missing Elizabeth more than he anticipated, contemplating the significance of their connection and the unexpressed feelings between them.
