Here is what we know about the first New Movie Saturday Nights offering.
What Is GAC Family’s Retreat To Paradise About?
According to the IMDb synopsis, Ellie Vaughn (Stone) is tasked to help international tennis star, Jordan Greer (Elliott) recover from a potentially career-ending injury. This is not easy, as the athlete is cantankerous. Moreover, between the shoulder injury, and the uncertainty of his future, he is taking it out on Ellie.
Therefore, he is not open to the sorts of rehabilitation that Ellie suggests. Part of the problem is the pain. He just wants to be alone in his misery. Also, he is not motivated. However, Ellie knows how to turn around a patient like this.
More so, his longtime coach Neal (Krause) has faith that Jordan can overcome this. He wants to see the star work through this difficult situation.
Soon, Ellie and Jordan start to work together, and he begins to recover. He is even beginning to think that he will have his life and career back. Yet, is Ellie interested in being part of that as well?
What Is New Movie Saturday Nights Program?
Starting on August 20, GAC Family will air a new movie every Saturday evening. Retreat To Paradise is kicking off this program. Finally, this will continue until October 28, when Great American Christmas returns.
This announcement is significant, as GAC Family has not premiered a new movie since its February release, Harmony From The Heart, starring Jessica Lowndes and Jesse Metcalfe.
