About the film
When Marla receives a call that her Aunt Helen is ill and cannot tend to her mail store, Marla decides to take a break from her redundant city life and head to the small town of North Lake to help her Aunt Helen. There, she meets Jesse Collins. After dating for a while, Marla begins to recognize Jesse's playboy reputation. Coupled with the interference of vindictive mean girl Cora, whom is an ex-girlfriend of Jesse's, Marla puts a permanent hold on things. Jesse then tries to convince Marla that she's wrong about him and he only has good intentions towards her, so he throws out a desperate plea by giving her references of his ex-girlfriends to try and clear his name. Marla now finds herself playing detective to find out the real Jesse. It is this unique plea that takes the story into a twist of emotional ups downs... and a second guessing of intentions by all involved. After all is done, this town with no strangers will be changed forever.
