As a teenager Renée - a charming charlatan - ran away from her sleepy hometown to the big city. Now, fifteen years later she struggles to survive poverty. A fat criminal record and her spicy personality put her on the verge of imprisonment. When her estranged father dies, he leaves little behind, but an old house and a dusty pigeon coop. And if there’s one thing she hates more than her family, it’s those damn roof poopers. Unlike Nest, her mentally challenged brother who is a devoted pigeon whisperer. Renée just wants to sell the house and use the money to stay out of jail, knowing full well her brother will be sent to a mental institution. But when she learns pigeon racing is a multimillion dollar business and Nest has a promising champion in his coop she decides to move in with him.
