In the heart of Georgia, on a sprawling 35-acre plot untouched by time, resides Noah Dearborn. At 91-years-old, Noah lives a life of simplicity and authenticity, uncorrupted by the complications of modern existence. His world revolves around his extraordinary talent for woodworking, a craft that he has honed to near perfection, transforming raw timber into exquisite works of art. His serene life, however, is soon threatened by the insatiable greed of Christian Nelson, a ruthless construction developer who covets Noah's land for his next grand project - a sprawling shopping mall. Caught in the crossfire of unrelenting progress and steadfast tradition, Noah finds an unexpected ally in Dr. Valerie Crane. A psychologist by profession and girlfriend to Nelson, Dr. Crane is initially enlisted by her ambitious beau to evaluate Noah's mental state and declare him unfit, thus paving the way for the seizure of his land. However, as she gets to know Noah, she is captivated by the charm of his simple life and the purity of his passion for woodworking. Drawn into Noah's world, Valerie finds herself questioning her loyalties. Torn between her relationship with Nelson and her newfound friendship with Noah, she must decide where her allegiance lies. As the specter of eviction looms over Noah, Valerie is thrust into the battle to save his land and preserve his humble way of life.
