It premieres on November 26, 2023 and stars Bethany Joy Lenz and Kristoffer Polaha.

The movie was filmed on location at the Historic Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Get details below, including a full synopsis, cast list, see photos and more.
Lucy Hardgrove (Bethany Joy Lenz) is a screenwriter. She is hired to pen the script for a remake of the beloved holiday movie classic, His Merry Wife. However, the studio dislikes the ending Lucy wrote. So, they send her to the Biltmore Estate for research. Upon arrival, she’s welcomed and shown around by Biltmore employee Winston (Jonathan Frakes). While at Biltmore, she discovers the ability to travel back to the 1947 movie set thanks to an hourglass. It’s there Lucy meets Jack Huston (Kristoffer Polaha), one of the film’s stars. They spend time together and become close. But, her sudden appearance set off a chain of events that puts production in jeopardy. Can Lucy make things right before returning to the present? Or, will she alter the future forever?
