The main story revolves around a class reunion. They never say which one it is, but the best guess is 30 years since most of the actors are 50-ish or older.
Lisa Hartman is big city doctor Syd Ludwick and she surprises everyone by going home to the small town for the class reunion. There is baggage. Her old serious boyfriend Gus (Dale Midkiff) is now a widower with a young son, and Syd and her mother aren't really talking. We find out why, Syd thinks mom neglected dad during his last weeks of life. Rue McClanahan is good as the mom, Helen Ludwick.
Most will be able to guess during the first 30 minutes how all this will end up. The script and acting are not very subtle about it. But it is a pleasant story and the message is good.
SPOILERS: Gus's son has some medical problems that doctors say he just needs to grow out of. But Syd diagnoses a mass in his chest that needs to be taken care. That out of the way, Syd is a hero of sorts in the hometown, but she needs to get back to the big city and her practice. But right before she leaves she tells Gus that she probably would stay if he asked her. He does. One year later, she and Gus are married, the son calls her "mom", her mother helps Syd in her new practice. The town needed a doctor, after all.
