Darren is a New York ad executive who travels to a small town in the deep south after receiving word that his aunt has left him a sizable inheritance. Darren is informed that he will only receive the money if he successfully leads a local gospel choir to victory at an upcoming competition. Darren takes on the task of finding the best singers in town and forming the group. There, he meets Lilly, a single mother who not only possesses an incredible voice but also the ability to warm Darren's cold heart.

Great Music submitted by Meginator on July 16, 2018, 5:28pm As a hybrid between a coming-home-and-making good story, a romantic comedy, and an underdog competition story, this film offers few narrative surprises and hits all of its beats right on cue. It's got humor, heart, and amazing music that set it apart from other films in the genres it borrows from, adding up to a film that deserves more notoriety than it has.
