Premise

Adam Gaines, a semantics professor at UCLA, becomes complacent in his life and hears about the death of a relative in Missouri. He drives cross country to attend the funeral and pay his respects, and decides to spend the summer there working as a laborer. He meets Jerri Jo Hopper, and falls in love, along the way developing new friendships with the town locals. He then must decide what direction he wants his life to go, whether to stay in Missouri or return to California.
