Birds Eye View The Lonely Road

From the dusty Arizona roots to the big, bright city lights in New York. A story of hard work, dedication and heartache. Bird’s Eye View tells the story of working life away, achieving everything imaginable, the lonely road to success, living out the dreams, life at the top and only to come to realize that missing out on the smaller things in life was the biggest regret. From the Bean Box to Drop Me in the Water, Rob worked life away, never taking the time to smell the roses. As Rob’s 100th birthday approaches, Rob decides that life isn’t too late, he stops to smell the roses, admire the sunsets and comes back down from the bird’s eye view, remembering his Arizonan roots, fancy New York parties and his love interests.
