On the verge of a new promotion, Alison Price's world is thrown into disarray when her mother retires and leaves her the family hardware store. While she's busy getting the store ready to sell, it soon turns out that there may be more than just the store keeping her at home.

SYNOPSIS:

ALISON PRICE (mid-30s - an athletic health nut, driven and smart with unbridled optimism) is living her best life in Seattle and is pushing for a new promotion at work. She just needs to finish one last marketing campaign, and the new role should be hers. Her weekend can’t be filled with work though as she’s has to return to her hometown of Silverborough, Washington for her mom’s retirement party.

Stopping at "Beautiful Blossoms" to pick up some flowers, she runs into an old high school friend, FLO, who is excited to see Alison again and gives her flowers on the house. As she leaves the store, she accidentally bumps into MAX - a handsome yet awkward man who spills coffee all over Alison. After untangling herself from the crash, she runs off to see her mom, MARY, at her quiet, isolated, foresty child-hood home.

Mary is excited to catch up with Alison, after all – she hasn’t been back since her dad’s funeral four years ago; but Alison is desperately trying to work on her campaign. It’s only once Mary unveils that the handsome man who ran into her earlier was an old classmate that Alison finally gives in to hang out with her mom.

It turns out that Max has been working at their family hardware store – Harry’s Hardware – for several years now and has become friends with Mary. He shows up at the house the next day to take them to Mary’s retirement party. Throughout the evening, Alison and Max rekindle their old friendship and take in all the over-the-top festivities that Mary has organized.

The party crests during an emotional speech from Mary during which she shocks the crowd with the news that she’s leaving the store to Alison!

This revelation comes out of nowhere. Alison has a life in Seattle. A career. Friends. She can't just pack everything up and stay in Silverborough to run a hardware store. Mary convinces her to take some time, go into the store and try it out. If she doesn’t like it, she can sell it – but to at least give it a try.

At Harry's Hardware, Alison must once again work with Max who happily shows her the store and how it operated for the past several years. While giving Alison a tour of the store, they see an old "Employee of the Month" picture of Alison from when she was eight and they both reminisce about Harry, growing up and their prior jobs together.

As Alison goes over the store, she realizes that the finances are tracked in a messy, handwritten ledger full of IOUs - the definition of small-town charm. On top of that, the store recently began doing house calls too. This brings Alison and Max out to a few local houses for work, each time Alison learns more about the store, the town, and Max.

Of course, throughout it all, she still has her life and career back home constantly breaking into her newfound lifestyle. She has the big promotion coming up and needs to finish the campaign but is running out of time.

Realizing she's been focusing on the store too much and letting her career slip to the back burner, she tries coming up with new ideas for the campaign but constantly falls short. Max is sure it's because she's lost her passion for advertising but Alison fights back saying she just needs the right spark.

Climbing up to her old childhood tree house, Alison ends up falling asleep and woken by her mother who asks her if she's stressed.

Alison unloads on her mother, revealing all her worries and concerns; the biggest of which is she isn't sure if her dad would be proud of her or not. Mary consoles her, showing that Harry had recorded every single commercial she created and loved her completely. Neither Mary nor Harry would care if Alison sold the store and moved back to the city, or if she kept the store and stayed in town. They only care about her happiness and Mary is sure that Alison is happy right now.

Alison thinks about it, she is happy. She likes the store, she likes the town, she likes seeing old friends and making new ones all the while being surrounded by fresh air and open skies.

She realizes that she wants to keep the store, but can't just leave her old career empty handed - she has never missed a deadline and won't start missing deadlines now.

With the help of BILL, the lawyer, Alison decides to have Max come in as a partner on the store. Max is shocked but excited by the news - especially now that he'll be able to work with Alison every day.

Alison finishes up her marketing campaign with an idea based on the childhood tree house. With her job in Seattle successfully put to rest, she returns back to Silverborough to start a new life as the owner of Harry's Hardware; and a new life with Max.
