Summary: Fleeing an abusive relationship, a young mother seeks refuge at the ranch of her estranged father-in-law. While her new-found Samaritan has been used to his own company, he soon warms to both Jean and the granddaughter he had never known. A heart-warming drama from the director of CIDER HOUSE RULES and CHOCOLAT.

Lasse Hallstrom (CHOCOLAT, CIDER HOUSE RULES) directs an all-star cast in this melancholy tale of bitterness and redemption, played out against the beautiful backdrop of rural Wyoming. Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) is a single mom on the run from her abusive boyfriend, Gary (Damian Lewis). With nowhere else to go, she and her young daughter, Griff (Becca Gardner), travel to the ranch owned by Jean’s father-in-law, Einar (Robert Redford). Jean and Einar have been estranged since the accidental death of Griffin, Einar’s son, which he has always blamed on Jean. A crusty old cowboy, Einar lives a rustic existence -working his land, minding his own business, and getting into the occasional noble fistfight on his trips into town. He follows a strict routine that involves paying daily visits to his son’s grave and caring for Mitch (Morgan Freeman, BATMAN BEGINS), a ranch hand who has been bedridden since being mauled by a bear a year ago. But when Jean shows up with a granddaughter he never even knew he had, Einar’s world begins to change, and old wounds begin, reluctantly, to heal. Meanwhile, Jean gets a job working at the local diner, Gary comes looking for her, and her dalliance with the handsome police chief, Crane (Josh Lucas), just might blossom into something more. But none of them can move on with their lives until Mitch confronts the beast that came close to destroying him.
