Savannah Delongpre is a wealthy fashion model living in New York City. She returns to a small town in Georgia to visit her wealthy grandmother Belle and reminisces about her childhood with some friends who still live there. During that time, Savannah met Jack Gilbert, a rugged wanderer/artist who lived on Bell's property called Two Moon Junction. His family had decades of discord with Savannah's family. Savannah was eager to forget about her tense life and eventually began a dirty relationship with Jack, despite Bell's opposition, claiming that this man was not suitable for her or anyone else. But Savannah's strongest opposition came from her possessive boyfriend Robert Lee, who later came to Savannah and planned to drive Jack out of the area by purchasing the property of Two Moon Junction to separate Savannah and Jack.
