In August 1946, song-and-dance trio Jim Hardy, Ted Hanover and Lila Dixon are performers at a club in New York City. When Jim proposes to Lila, she accepts, and he tells her that he bought Mason Farm in Midville, intending for them to leave show business to raise a family - but Lila is reluctant to give up performing. Lila agrees to tour as a duo, promising to join Jim in Connecticut after the tour. Eager to settle down, Jim moves to Midville and starts work on the ramshackle old farmhouse, where he moves forward with his life whilst waiting for Lila. But will she ever come to the Midville to make a life with him?
