Dreaming big, living small. One step forward can sometimes feel like a giant, free-falling leap ... 

Emily has lIved in a rustic, old-fashioned town all her life and dreams of moving away to a big city with life that's always moving in the fast lane. This dream has always been just that, a dream, so far out of touch from reality that it seemed impossible; but when she finally works up the courage, and - of course -the money, she quickly takes flight, leaving behind the life she has always known. But is the city all she had ever dreamed of? 

Brandon is an Architect working in big city, he has always dreamed of retreating to a smaller town to work on his life-long dream of building a house from the ground upwards. The city isn't kind to those who don't want to play the monopoly and Brandon is sent on a job to a small, hilltop town and he's instantly blown away by its beauty and serenity. Certainly a world away from the life he's used to. Does he take a leap of faith or play things safe?

Chance, or some might call it Fate, enables Emily and Brandon to meet in a small local coffee shop in her home town. What ensues can only be described as a whirlwind ... 

What will triumph in this search for dreams? Love or the Dream?
