The movie follows the story of a man who is one of the biggest rising stars in country music who decides to forego his career in favor of a return to working on a farm. While on the farm, he falls in love with the farm owner’s daughter, Harley. Later, during a very intimate and toned-down show, he takes the stage in front of an audience that includes the woman of his dreams – Harley.
