A parrot and a librarian upend the well-ordered life of a solitary man.
Lyman (Jackson Hurst) is a loner, working the graveyard shift for the Courtesy Patrol. When a green parrot flies in to his trailer he becomes obsessed with finding its owner, which leads him to Fiona (Rachel Nichols). She has been eyeing Lyman from a distance and decides to help with his parrot search, whether he wants her to or not. The pair set off on a search that doesnʼt always lead them where they think theyʼre going, but gradually leads them to one another.

00:00:23,556 --> 00:00:27,299
The graveyard shift,
whatever you call us.
4
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,172
We're the ones working
at night while you sleep.
5
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:35,907
We look out for each other,
or I looked out for Lyman,
6
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:39,109
and he looked out
for everyone else.
7
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:46,047
But off the road, he
thought everyone else
8
00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:49,457
had read the big
instruction manual.
9
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:51,894
Lyman wasn't going to talk until
he had it all figured out.
10
00:00:58,491 --> 00:00:59,970
[siren blaring]
11
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:03,070
Riding that highway loop
night after night
12
00:01:03,129 --> 00:01:05,370
was the only job he'd ever had,
13
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:07,070
unless you count all the
classes he took
14
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:09,204
at the community college.
15
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:12,512
Oh he learned lots of things,
just not the basics,
16
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,917
and they aren't in books.
17
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:21,749
MARGIE: You take care
out there, Lyman.
