Ruby is filled with hope as she falls in love with her high school sweetheart, Paul Tate (Sam Duke), but lingering thoughts of her mysterious father and her mother’s death often creep into Ruby’s mind. As dark family secrets begin to reveal themselves when Paul’s parents forbid him from seeing Ruby, Ruby is further devastated when her beloved Grandmère passes away. Forced to flee to New Orleans from the bayou, Ruby searches for her estranged father (Gil Bellows), one of the richest men in the city, as she clings to her memories of Paul and their forbidden love. Another movie in the Landry Family series airs tomorrow night, and two more next weekend.
