The premise

It's a full Valentine's Day weekend at the Inn when Olivia and Mick host Mick's sister Bonnie and her fiancé Sean, Mick's daughter Julie and her boyfriend Wyatt, and Olivia's mother Nora and her boyfriend Johnny.

How unusual is it?

Middle of the road, with a twist — a second-chance romance keeps it from being totally by-the-book.

Full story (spoilers)
Mick Turner and Olivia are looking forward to a rare, quiet Valentine's weekend at their inn, but the peace is short-lived. Mick's sister Bonnie arrives from London with a bombshell: she is getting married this Sunday. Mick is stunned to find that the groom is Sean, his former keyboardist who abandoned Mick's band decades ago, effectively ending Mick's professional music career. Meanwhile, Olivia's mother Nora and her partner Johnny arrive, with Nora immediately critiquing Olivia's life and appearance. Adding to the chaos, Mick's daughter Julie arrives with her boyfriend Wyatt, announcing her intention to quit college to become a chef. Mick is initially resistant to all these changes, particularly Sean's presence. He notices Sean taking secretive phone calls from a woman named Francesca, leading him to believe Sean is cheating on Bonnie. This suspicion causes a major rift between the siblings, nearly prompting Bonnie to move the wedding. Parallel to this, Julie tries to prove her culinary skills to her father by taking over the inn's kitchen, but her relationship with Wyatt hits a breaking point when he expresses fear that her leaving school will end their relationship. After a heart-to-heart with Olivia and Duke, Mick realizes he needs to stop 'over-parenting' and 'over-protecting.' He embarks on an 'apology tour,' discovering that Sean's secret calls were actually to a high-end wedding dress designer named Francesca to surprise Bonnie with a custom gown. Mick reconciles with Sean and gives Bonnie away in a beautiful ceremony. He also gives Julie his blessing to take a gap year to pursue her cooking dreams, and Wyatt returns to reconcile with her. The film concludes with Mick performing a song he wrote specifically for Olivia at a Valentine's benefit, hinting that their own wedding might be the next one at Willow Lake.
