Nicole is sent by her father — who is also her boss — to buy up properties in a small town in order to redevelop it and make it more modern. There she meets the pastor, Daniel, who is struggling to keep his church afloat as it is in serious need of renovation. Daniel, along with many others in the town, is strongly opposed to selling, convinced that the town’s close-knit community and character would be lost through development. Nicole is forced to stay in town to better understand the resistance. Perhaps there is a better way to help the town grow and thrive?
I’m somewhat conflicted about this film. I generally struggle a bit with the religious America angle and its reactionary way of thinking. At the same time, they have managed to put together a fairly decent romantic film that doesn’t become too difficult to watch from that perspective.
