Autumn's Embrace follows Elliot Sanders, a successful marketing executive from New York City, who relocates to the quaint countryside town of Willow Creek. Burned out by the relentless pace of the corporate world and feeling unfulfilled despite his success, Elliot seeks a quieter life. He purchases a charming farmhouse, hoping the peaceful rural surroundings will help him reset.

Adjusting to small-town life proves challenging for Elliot. The slow pace and tight-knit community feel foreign after years in the city. But as he gets to know Lily Harris, the local school teacher, he finds himself drawn to her warmth and kindness. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Lily remains guarded, hesitant to trust that Elliot can embrace a life so different from the one he's always known.

As autumn paints Willow Creek in vibrant colors, Elliot finds himself torn between the career and lifestyle he's always pursued and the sense of belonging he's begun to feel in the countryside. His journey of self-discovery and the deepening connection with Lily force him to confront what truly matters most in life.

Autumn's Embrace is a heartfelt exploration of the tension between ambition and contentment, the allure of small-town life, and the transformative power of love and community.

Adulting is a difficult journey fraught with stress, anxiety, loneliness, catching feelings, heartbreak, painful healing, routine, monotony... all to simply learn how to be the main character in your own life... Main Character Vibes follows the intertwining lives of an ensemble cast of millennials as they struggle to find meaning & purpose in the big city. It's October in Toronto. Autumn has exacerbated that sinking feeling that comes when winter is on the horizon. Elias & Tilly have been living together for three years ever since they met and graduated from college. As a Legal intern, Tilly is overworked and under-loved but has no time for anything else. Having been living the same day for the past three years, Elias is disillusioned by life after college...his frequent panic attacks are just one symptom of that monotony. Things take a drastic turn when Wayne (a retired investment banker turned art collector) injects a little bit of chaos into Elias's routine. Being Elias's mentor, Wayne persuades him that passion needs reviving every now and then and takes him to a plush brothel that he partly owns with madame Clara Desbiens, who herself came to the big city with plans of her own. Then there are Francis and Marie who are stuck in a stagnant marriage. But unbeknownst to Francis, Marie is having an affair with Wayne. Thus, the characters go through the motions putting temporary bandages on permanent wounds until an inevitable carnage unravels their lives on a cold October night in the heart of Canada's biggest metropolis.
