‘Feeling Butterflies’ Hallmark Movie Premiere: Trailer, Synopsis, Cast

Hallmark Channel is getting into the spring spirit with a new film premiere just ahead of its annual programming event. The new film, “Feeling Butterflies,” stars Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry.

Neither of the film’s stars will be a stranger to Hallmark fans, as both are very familiar to those who watch “When Calls the Heart.” Wallace has starred as Fiona Miller on the long-running series, while McGarry is known for his own role on the show as Nathan Grant. Wallace also had a role in the film “Once Upon A Prince.”

McGarry is also well-known for his several other roles on Hallmark, which include in the films “The Wedding Veil” and “The Wedding Veil Legacy,” “Christmas Scavenger Hunt,” “Winter Love Story,” “Winter Castle,” “A Song for Christmas” and “Love at First Bark.”

So what can fans expect from these two “When Calls the Heart” stars in their first film together? Let’s find out.

“Emily Mariposa (Wallace) is a lepidopterist—the scientific name for a butterfly expert—who runs Butterflies, Inc., a booming business that releases butterflies at weddings and special events,” a synopsis reads. “Garrett Thorson (McGarry), a handsome, single, widowed father, hires Emily for his daughter Amanda’s (Alyssa Gervasi) birthday party, where the three make a connection.”

Garrett soon becomes a help to Emily as she takes on the biggest job of her career.

“Emily gets the opportunity of a lifetime when a well-known—but demanding—socialite wants to hire her to release 1,500 butterflies at her upcoming wedding,” the synopsis continues. “It’s a tall order, but if she pulls it off, Emily would get invaluable exposure for her business. She agrees to take it on and Garrett and Amanda happily offer to lend a hand.”

However, disaster begins to strike, as something threatens not only the event but feelings that Emily is starting to develop for Garrett start raising more questions.

“Emily’s feelings for Garrett grow but his potential move to New York, and the return of his ex-girlfriend, leave her questioning if they have a future together,” the synopsis says. “Meanwhile, a parasite threatens the caterpillars they’re so carefully nurturing for release at the wedding,”

Still, Emily may find success, and on top of everything else, she may also find her happily ever after ending.

“Feeling Butterflies” premieres Saturday, March 8 at 8 p.m. EDT on Hallmark Channel.
