While Brittany is back in her element, Kentucky turns into a minefield for Jax as he contends with aggressive farm animals, awkward sleeping arrangements and endless marriage questions from her colorful family. From coyote hunting, to babysitting her nephews, and even going to church, Jax's city slicker ways are continually challenged. However, after a few days in the quiet countryside, Jax's patience and charm start to wear thin as Brittany's friends and family, especially her skeptical father, start to question his commitment. Through their ups and downs, this unlikely couple will find out if their Los Angeles love can survive life on the farm.
