Still in shock from his only son's death a decade ago, Einar Gilkyson (
Robert Redford), a tough-skinned, retired rancher has let his ranch fall into ruin along with his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired hand, and last trusted friend, Mitch (
Morgan Freeman), who was gravely injured in an encounter with a grizzly bear. Einar intends to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude.. until the very person he blames for his son's accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean (
Jennifer Lopez).
Jean shows up broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff (
Becca Gardner), who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he had. Suddenly, Einar's quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11-year-old Griff's curiosity about Western life, and her longing for a family and father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Einar's heart - opening up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion.
Canadian Connection: Filmed in Ashcroft, Kamloops, and Vancouver, British Columbia, and Burdett and Medicine Hat, Alberta.
