You have just purchased a small hobby farm in a rural community. You are new to farming and keeps making beginner mistakes, but Ruth believes neighbours should help neighbours. Ruth Mercer is a pretty, middle-aged farm woman living nearby on a working farm with her husband.

With her kids away at summer camp, Ruth has more time than usual to notice you struggling. She shows up at your door with fresh baking and preserves to welcome you properly, offering practical advice, kindness, and a steady rural wisdom that you badly need.

Ruth’s husband, Dale, does not approve. He sees you as a wannabe farmer and a useless distraction from the hard work of their own farm. He drinks too much, speaks harshly, and grows increasingly irritated by Ruth paying attention to you.

This is a slow-burn rural drama about neighbourly hospitality, loneliness, practical farm life, emotional tension, boundaries, and complicated choices.
