Mary Ross, a successful attorney, has inherited a house in Plymouth, Massachusetts from her deceased aunt. Everett Mather is the town's local historian and has been working on discovering the true place of the first Thanksgiving his whole life. After years of searching, he thinks that the exact location is where Mary's house happens to sit. Everett keeps this information from the press, but word gets out. Mary isn't pleased when her house is turned into a tourist attraction. Everett proves his good intentions to Mary - that all he wants is for people of the U.S. to know where such an important historical event took place. Mary is enamored by Everett's love for his town. Her busy life as a lawyer is put on hold as she is taken in by not only Plymouth's charm, but Everett's as well. If the house is found to be the true location of the first Thanksgiving, Mary will have to decide if her old life is worth leaving for the love she's finally found.
