Once Upon Ojai

Mia is a talented high school music teacher and an adept equestrian who lives on a ranch in the small town of Ojai, California. Owen is an internationally famous composer and conductor with a questionable reputation.

Both have had disappointments from past bitter relationships and are guarded with their hearts. Gradually they start enjoying each other's company and begin to fall in love.

But then, Owen uncovers an essential secret about Mia's family that even Mia doesn't know. He suspects that when Mia finds out that he knew the truth and did not tell her, she will never forgive him. On the other hand, the revelation could complicate the dynamics between all individuals involved and could end his relationship with Mia.
Will their love be strong enough to withstand the gravity of this disclosure? Or are some wounds just too deep to heal?
