In Grounded in Love, Annie (McKellar), a spirited, Manhattan-based flight attendant, thrives on adventure and freedom until an unexpected airline merger grounds her career, and a breakup with a self-absorbed boyfriend leaves her questioning everything. Searching for clarity, Annie takes a road trip to her grandmother’s rural Kentucky farm – a place she hasn’t visited in years, though it holds close to her heart. Nothing on the farm seems to have changed, except Jake (Donovan), Annie’s childhood friend who recently traded in fast-paced city life for something more intentional. As two old friends reconnect, Annie rediscovers what matters most – family, faith, community, and the kind of love that stays rooted when everything else seems uncertain.
