The story surrounds a mysterious drifter who arrives in a small Texas town. Featuring an all-star cast including John Schneider, who made Bo Duke a TV heartthrob during the early 1980s, will play a modern George Bailey; Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, Law and Order) Joe Estevez (Soultaker), Robert Davi (Die Hard) and directed by acclaimed British Director Peter Mackenzie. With a surprising cameo by Norma Mcorvey - better known by the legal pseudonym "Jane Roe," who changed American law in the Roe v.
Wade decision. Norma is now a pro-life activist.
Hollywood Reporter describes the film "as a cross between "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Crazy Heart" and also stars Robert Davi as the town sheriff."
