SYNOPSIS:
Almost, Maine is a charming romantic comedy about love in all its wonderfully unpredictable forms. On a cold, clear winter night in the remote town of Almost, Maine, residents find themselves falling in and out of love in a series of interconnected stories
filled with humor, surprise, longing, and a touch of magic. Under the glow of the northern lights, ordinary moments become extraordinary as hearts are broken, mended, and sometimes turned completely upside down.
