    Story Synopsis:
    Missy Lofton (Campbell) is a lovely little thing who lives deep in the south in a small town called Lost Junction. One day she picks up Jimmy McGee (Burke) after she finds him on the side of the road with a broken-down Mustang.

    Reason #13 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:
