So what will happen in the newest film?

“Upon learning her beloved sister (Christine Chatelain) and brother-in-law (Jason Tremblay), were killed in an accident, Josie (Chabert), a New York City marketing executive, rushes to her small hometown of New Hope, North Carolina to be with her family, who are each reacting differently to this loss,” the synopsis reads. “In the midst of grieving, it is revealed that Josie has been named the guardian of her sister’s children, Delilah (Cassidy Nugent) and Ben (Glen Gordon), which affects the family dynamic.”

Quickly, the news shocks the family, and Josie’s parents, (Gregory Harrison and Teryl Rothery) reveal they think the children should stay with them, since Josie has to go back to New York, and she isn’t sure she wants to become an instant mom. However, as she continues reconnecting with her past, she may find herself wondering if taking care of the kids is actually the right call.

“Josie can’t help but reflect on her past, especially when she runs into her high school ex-boyfriend, Cooper (Hynes), who is also the kids’ basketball coach,” the synopsis reads. “As Josie and her family adjust to a new normal, with Cooper’s help, they learn that the best families don’t always get it right, but if they lean on each other, their hearts will learn to laugh and love again.”

“Sweet Carolina” premieres Saturday, May 15 at 9 p.m. EDT on Hallmark Channel.
