He came to say goodbye... An incident at work convinces Glenn Michaels that life is short - and that he needed to make some radical changes. He decides to drive from his home in suburban Dallas to Magnolia, Ohio (Population 2442) to wrap up loose ends on a life he intends to leave behind forever. When he arrives, he is offered a legacy with one string attached. If he refuses to accept what is offered, he may be condemning Magnolia to a slide into oblivion where it would become just another small, forgotten southern Ohio town. While Glenn tries to rationalize leaving and heading back to Texas, he embarks on a journey where he learns to love, laugh and live again - saving himself while Saving Magnolia.
