Filmed in Vermont.
The story: A newspaper writer by the name of Andy has decided he's had enough of the fast-paced life in the city.
Andy and his wife Elizabeth pack up all their belongings and head out to the country, where they believe they will have a nice, peaceful, relaxing change of pace and instead of writing for the newspaper, Andy will now be concentrating on writing novels.
The couple has high hopes that they will be living out their dream by moving to the country and even though a lot of things go wrong and nothing ever seems to work out right, they stay positive.
But soon, as the seasons change, so do their lives and the problems that the couple was once looking at in a positive light, now seem unbearable.
After the couple has seen more of their share of bad luck and reasons to end their marriage, they believe the country's life just isn't the life for them and come up with a new approach at the whole country's life idea.
