Fair to maudlin is country singer Toby Keith's first film. Former high school sweethearts, Bo Price(Keith), a fading country music singer, and Angela Denton(Kelly Preston), a television reporter, return to their small hometown after the deaths of their younger brothers in a military training exercise. Bo and Angela have to deal with the past and the future. The out-of-the-spotlight Price meets his 16-year old daughter Dixie(Lindsey Haun), who is a musician herself...a rock musician. Angela has to deal with her father(Burt Reynolds), who has been out of sorts with her since she left home pregnant. Her mother(Tess Harper)tries to mediate a truce before having a minor stroke. Bo calls on his friends Willie Nelson and BeBe Winans to sing at the memorial service for the five hometown lost soldiers. Dixie is also asked to sing her own song "Broken" and it melts hearts. The future no longer seems so bleak. Also in the movie are: Katie Finneran, Anna Maria, Josh Henderson and Steve Coulter.
