What Is Hallmark’s Where Your Heart Belongs Story?

According to the Hallmark press release, Mackenzie Sullivan (Lilley) is a New-York based marketing executive who is struggling to keep her high-profile clients. That is because they are migrating to an up-and-coming influencer.

However, things take a dramatic turn. Seems that her best friend Olivia (Morrison) is now moving up her wedding date. Moreover, with this announcement, she now plans to get married in just two weeks. Therefore, she asks Mackenzie to go back with her to their small, rural hometown and help with the plans.

But, there is one glitch. Unfortunately, Mackenzie will be working side-by-side with Olivia’s cousin Dylan (Russell). In addition, the two used to date. So, this will be a bit awkward. Surprisingly, there are some benefits to coming home through some hard lessons.

Turns out, Mackenzie has more love and support of family and true friends means more than she had ever imagined.

  1. Why aren’t they not using Maple tree. Total unbelievable that it was filmed in in the NW and not in hardwood forest. There are parts of Canada with maple trees!
