This one was a nice slow trip to a small town in Louisiana. It uses the recent shale finds as the catalyst for the disruption of this sleepy town.
Camille Gardner is sent by her uncle, an oil and gas company owner, to a small town in Louisiana to get a small group of land owners to lease their mineral rights to the company. She is in the doghouse with him due to some recent gaffe to the media. In order to get her wish to put down roots and work out of the main office, she has to land the deal.
Camille has never been entirely into the oil and gas business; her heart is the art world. She winds up working for her uncle after he sweeps in to rescue her and her mother years ago. She feels she owes him.
Camille finds herself siding with the homeowners on this one. They happen to be a group of local artists who want to maintain the look of their land. What doesn't help is their good looking lawyer also distracts Camille.
Good read. Interesting to see the little guy fight the man.
