[edit] Plot

Chase plays a New York author who moves with his wife to the seemingly charming town of Redbud, so he can write a book. They do not get along well with the residents, and marital troubles arise. They soon decide to split, and pay the neighbors to appear nice to possible home buyers visiting the area. Ultimately, they decide to stay together and stay in Redbud, much to the chagrin of the town locals.
