BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Mercedes is a social worker who is helping one of her clients - an elderly woman named Darla - deal with the growing uncertainty of the future of her trailer park, Shady Vista.
We then meet Justin - a lawyer who is leaving his current firm in Texas and moving to Aspen, Colorado, where the snow is snowy and the montages are montagey. He's moving in with a roommate...it's Mercedes! They see each other for the first time and the sparks start to SPARKKKKK. They both try to impress each other but it ends with spicy food and a trip to get ice cream.
That night, someone with a wrench shows up at Shady Vista and turns off the water. Darla heads out to figure out what the heck is up. She goes out and padlocks the meter. Well, apparently you can't do that and she ends up getting arrested when she refuses to take the locks off.
The next day in court, guess who the state's attorney is - it's Justin. As he's giving his opening statement where he makes it clear he wants them to throw the book at her, Mercedes comes in and she's shocked to hear him talk this way. Darla believes there's a conspiracy afoot - the city is trying to force her to sell. Justin thinks that's laughable.
Afterwards, Mercedes gives Justin a piece of her mind and then tries to kill him on the ski slopes.
So Darla is definitely correct about her conspiracy theory, especially after someone shows up and tries to blow up Shady Vista's pipes.
He ends up looking into the situation and realizes that the company that is wanting to buy Shady Vista has been paying this guy, Bruce, to do all this stuff.
Mercedes and Justin argue about how to handle this situation. Mercedes wants to work with Bruce to take the bad guys down. Justin is like Bruce is the bad guy. Ultimately they make up and make out.
They do some digging and figure out that the company didn't actually hire Bruce - rather, a lawyer that they hired to make the deal happen by any means necessary. That lawyer? JUSTIN'S OLD BOSS! The company is like we didn't mean criminal when we said any means necessary! They get him arrested.
And then Justin and Mercedes go to a wedding and he ends up proposing.
