Sometimes, you have to bet the farm...

Eloise has a plan. She's finished college and she is moving back home to the perfect small town where she grew up - and she is going to save her family's apple farm.

Nick also has a plan. He's so close to finishing his MBA and ready to take the business world by storm. He just needs to ace his final project, a marketing strategy to revitalise a small-town apple farm - which just happens to be the rival farm that Eloise has set her sights on for expansion.

Against a backdrop of fall festivals, apple pie baking contests and county fairs, the two rivals slowly form an attachment that could end up changing more than their careers...
