It's been eight years since Ave Maria Mulligan married Jack MacChesney. With her newfound belief in love and its possibilities, she has made a life for herself and her growing family. What she hasn't counted on is that the ghosts of the past will return...

Here we have the story of a marriage, the deep secrets, the power struggle, the betrayal and the unmet expectations that exist between a husband and wife. And here too we have the story of a wonderful community and an extended family, the people of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, who are always there for one another.

Full of humour, honesty, drama and local colour, Big Cherry, Holler has at its core two lovers who have lost their way and struggle so compellingly to find each other again.
