|---|
Angela and rebel daughter, Dixie return to Angela's hometown for her brother's funeral. Angela is estranged from her father, so their entire stay is somewhat awkward.
Angela's ex-boyfriend and Dixie's dad, Bo, whom she's never met is also their for the funeral.
Bo is a singer with a reputation for drinking and being a no show.
Dixie is also a singer, but that's all that her and Bo have in common. They're both stubborn and butt heads several times.
Throughout the course of the week, they spend time together, get to know each other and begin a great relationship.
Angela also rekindles her relationship with Bo.
Bo contacts one of his famous friends, Willie Nelson, and asks him to perform at a concert to benefit the small town that's been devastated by the deaths of many of it's citizens in the military.
Willie Nelson performs, Bo performs and he pulls Dixie up on stage with him to sing a song that she wrote herself.
Dixie's song touches the crowd. It even touches Angela's father and brings him and her closer together.
