A Horse Tale Page #2

Synopsis: Uptight city accountant, Michael Thompson (Patrick Muldoon), is struggling to raise his teenage daughter Chloe (Mandalynn Carlson) all on his own. So when he gets a call from Cliff Harrison (Rick Herod) to help save their family stables before ruthless bank managers shut them down, he wonders if the country life is just what they need to start over. Michael takes the job, even though he quickly finds out that Cliff's daughter (Charisma Carpenter) is not as keen as the rest of the family (Dominique Swain, Jaren Lewison, Billy Tilk) for his help. But as they search for ways to save the family's legacy, they find a future that they never expected.

Actually, he's

meeting with someone.

Even though he told me

that we are supposed to be

spending some time together.

And here I am,

alone,

again.

Yay.

So is this your

first time on a farm?

No...

Yes.

Well, what you think?

Um, it's pretty and all.

You guys do use

computers, right?

-What?

-Hey, guys!

You must be Chloe,

Michael's daughter.

I'm Sydney.

I guess you've already

met Jackson.

Uh, yes, ma'am.

It's nice to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.

So what's her name?

That's Holly.

Do you want to meet her?

No.

I shouldn't.

I'm waiting for my dad.

You know what?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Okay. Come on.

My grand-daddy

started this place

with 40 acres

and a little shack

out back on the pond.

And he put all his

money he had into it.

And my daddy did, too.

So, that being said,

I think you can understand,

I'd hate to be

the one to lose it.

Absolutely, sir.

It certainly is a...

It's a beautiful piece of land.

Thank you.

How deep is the trouble?

It's, uh...

My wife, some years back...

she got very ill,

and we had a flood

at the same time that

wiped out a lot of the barns

and some of the land here,

on the property.

I had to levy the farm

to take care of the repairs,

and things started to turn

around. I thought we were

going to make it...

And then when

my wife passed, I...

things went downhill from there

and we never really recovered.

We're lucky to still

be here today.

Well, I'm sorry

for your loss.

I'm not sure if you're

aware, I lost my wife

as well last year.

Nikki told me.

I'm sorry for that. I...

I hope things are better

for you and your little girl.

I really do.

Not easy, is it?

No, it's not.

Well, why don't we

concentrate on something

we can control.

Sounds good.

Um, what is the bottom line?

What do you owe the bank?

Well, right now we owe

the bank about $200,000.

Okay.

Thing is, they said

they want it by December 26th

or they're going to foreclose.

Wow! Merry Christmas, huh?

Yeah.

Well, Mr. Harrison,

I'm going to need to get into

your books as soon as possible.

Well, that's going to be

another problem.

Our books are real messy

and they always have been,

and they're probably

a little worse off now

since my daughter has

tried to organize things.

You're talking about Sam,

who I met outside? That's...

who's... handling... the books?

Sam, yeah.

That's the one.

You met my daughter

at her best, I think.

No, she seems

really nice.

She doesn't want me

here, does she?

You're a smart man,

Mr. Thompson.

Welcome to the family.

Thanks.

Hey! Not so fast.

How come nobody

told me about this?

You know that we need help

with the books. I can't do

this anymore all by myself.
