The film follows Joe Peterson, a children's book author from California, who travels to Ellison Bay, Wisconsin with his friend J.P. to find inspiration for the belated follow up to his popular book, "Mr. Kitty Feeds the Fish." While there he befriends Axel Anderson and eventually falls for his granddaughter, Sif, much to the dismay of her father, the town's Sheriff.
The film was shot in Door County, Wisconsin.[1][2]
Linda Cook of the Quad-City Times gave a positive review of the film, describing it as "a perfectly warm winter outing."[3] Chris Foran of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel awarded the film two stars.[4]
