synopsis
During a film shoot in a rural New England town, screenwriter Joe White's old-fashioned values are put to the test when he is the only witness to a heartthrob movie star's indiscretions with a local teenage girl.

Meanwhile, Joe falls for Ann, a local bookseller who challenges him to stand up for the truth while his cast and crew wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting town.
