A Basket Of Old Wishes

In Harvest Falls, a town built on tradition and high expectations, the oldest wishes are always the hardest to keep.

Miles Kendrick has the perfect life: star quarterback, guaranteed scholarship, and a future his town has pre-approved. But every accolade feels like another brick in the wall of his private prison. His deepest secret, a wish scribbled on a torn slip of paper, is to trade his jersey for a sketchbook and run away to art school.

June Hayes has only one goal: escape. She plans to graduate early and vanish into a faraway city, leaving behind the aching silence of her parents' fractured home. Her impossible, heartbreaking secret wish, to see her mother and father together again for one Thanksgiving meal, is one she knows will never come true.

When an accidental exchange forces them to read each other's hidden desires inside the town's ancient "Harvest Basket," the popular jock and the cynical loner strike a desperate, high-stakes pact. Miles will use his effortless charm to orchestrate June's family reunion. June will use her meticulous planning to help Miles fake a perfect art portfolio.

But as they pull the strings of their facades, they find themselves falling for the authentic selves they desperately tried to hide. With Thanksgiving dinner and their secrets rapidly approaching, they must decide if the impossible wishes they were fighting for are the ones they truly need, or if the greatest courage lies in choosing their own, unpredictable future, together.

The greatest risk is not exposure. It's falling in love with the truth.
