The crew is made up of about 50 individuals who will be integrated in the community for nearing three weeks.

The plot of the movie surrounds successful lawyer Casey McKay who travels to the small rural town of Cherokee Falls where he agrees to defend his ex-brother-in-law for murder, but in the of fighting for his client’s life, Casey finds himself in a fight for everything he loves.

Eric Close, whose credits include Nashville, Suits, and Without A Trace, is playing the lead character of Casey McKay.
