'Follow Me to Daisy Hills': Meet Cindy Busby and rest of the cast of Hallmark's romantic drama
The upcoming feel-good romance, 'Follow Me to Daisy Hills', is a part of Hallmark Channel's annual ‘Fall Harvest’ original movie lineup, which starts from September 19. So, for five weekends this fall, Hallmark will telecast a new movie every Saturday, starting with 'Follow Me to Daisy Hills'.
The plot revolves around Jo and Blake. Jo realizes that her family-owned general store in Daisy Hills (built by her late mother) isn’t doing great business. To help the store her father Duke calls up none other than Jo’s ex-boyfriend Blake, a former Daisy Hills resident-turned-New York business consultant. After an awkward meet-up and initial disagreements, the two former lovers agree to work together. Soon they find themselves falling back in love again. But things just go as smoothly as expected. When Blake is approached for his dream job in New York City, the two must decide what future holds for them.
