A high-powered Los Angeles attorney returns to her quiet Virginia hometown to attend her father's funeral, and experiences a life-altering epiphany while reconnecting with her estranged mother and sister in this warmhearted family drama starring Scottie Thomson, Madeline Zima, and two-time Golden Globe-winner Jane Seymour. When Sara (Thomson) left Smith Mountain Lake for L.A, she said she would never go back. Now a successful lawyer, she reluctantly returns to her lakeside hometown to settle her father's estate after receiving word of his passing. But after arriving home and being greeted by her sister Lily (Madeline Zima) and their mother Vivian (Jane Seymour), she receives a visit from her father's spirit that changes her perception of past events while reminding her that the unconditional love of family is the most powerful love of all. Jeff Fahey co-stars.
