Seeking a fresh start in rural Tennessee, she cares for her late boyfriend’s mother (Phylicia Rashad) and unexpectedly finds new purpose and love with Boaz (Tyler Lepley), a grounded and generous vineyard owner. Directed by Alanna Brown and written by Michael Elliot and Cory Tynan, the film features an original song by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, performed by Serayah.
