Synopsis
New In Town tells the tale of Lucy Hill who is a driven and up-and-coming executive living in Miami. Living in the big city, Lucy values her material wealth and comfortable lifestyle. But when Lucy takes a temporary job that well help her get a big promotion, she gets more than she bargained for. Having to adjust to the rhythms of a slow paced, small town, Lucy begins to appreciate things she's always taken for granted. The change in scenery also brings about a possibility of romance, with a man who could possibly be the man of her dreams named Ted Mitchell. -

Review Quotes
- "What could be more pertinent than a yarn in which an arrogant, number-crunching city slicker regains her humanity when faced with decent, hard-working everyday folks in the provinces? But “New In Town” has no idea of how to play its cards. From their regional accents to their cutesy-poo vocabulary (lots of okey-dokeys), the Minnesotans whom Lucy encounters are ludicrous parodies of the characters in “Fargo.” You feel as if you are watching creatures more exotic than Snow White’s seven dwarfs."—The New York TimesThe New York Times: New in Town Review (January 30, 2009)
