"Sometimes, coming home is the hardest journey—but also the one that saves you."
In Sullivan’s Crossing, the picturesque beauty of rural Nova Scotia becomes a canvas for a deeply emotional journey—one painted with grief, love, and the chance at redemption. This rebooted adaptation captures the soul of Robyn Carr’s beloved novel with fresh intimacy, grounded performances, and the majestic backdrop of Canada’s East Coast, where healing becomes as much about the land as it is about the heart.
Drew Sullivan (played with rugged vulnerability by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) returns home to Sullivan’s Crossing after the sudden loss of his father, a beloved doctor in the community. Fleeing from a toxic corporate law career and the recent end of an engagement, Drew doesn’t expect refuge—only solitude. Instead, he inherits the family clinic and reconnects with the land and people he once abandoned.
As he settles in, Drew meets Maddie Townsend (portrayed by Imogen Poots), the town’s vibrant veterinarian, grappling with her own wounds from a past relationship gone wrong. Their bond, born in kindness and tempered by shared sorrow, begins as gentle friendship and slowly blooms into something deeper. But their fragile hope is tested by the arrival of Tyler, Drew’s high school best friend (played by Mark O’Brien), who questions Drew’s motivations, and a corporate health executive threatening to close the clinic.
In this quiet world of salt air and sweeping skies, Sullivan’s Crossing becomes more than a romance—it’s about savoring small moments: delivering a child, saving an injured fox, sharing laughter and tears in the glow of sunrise. It’s about rebuilding lives—brick by brick, conversation by conversation, and healing by soft confession.
Tender, reflective, and beautifully shot, Sullivan’s Crossing (2025) reminds us that sometimes the longest journey we take is the one back to ourselves—and the people we left behind.
