It's 1978 and the ever-ordinary Ave Maria Mulligan (Ashley Judd) leads a simple life. She lives with her mother, runs the pharmacy, directs plays at the Lonesome Pine Outdoor Drama, and hopes that her best friend will take their platonic relationship in a romantic direction. Ave Maria waits, and before she knows it, she turns 40. Now the old maid of Big Stone Gap, she decides that happiness is for other people - that is, until a long buried family secret throws her quiet life spectacularly off course. With an all-star cast, Big Stone Gap is a love letter to small-town life, working people and the triumph of love over all. 2015 Big Stone Gap Productions, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
