Much of this movie was filmed on location in Provo, Utah: on Center Street, University Avenue, at the Provo Courthouse, and at Timpview High School; and also in Heber City, Utah, at the Heber Valley Railroad station.
In one scene, the Timpview High School sign is changed, photoshopped, and renamed TAFT.
The location is supposed to be Vermont. However, this fact has little impact on the story, and the dust, mountains, and all locations are obviously western states (filmed in Utah).
Aired as the second of three original films in The Hallmark Channel's 2019 "Fall Harvest" lineup, the smallest amount of original films since the lineup's inception.
Trevor Donovan and Drew Fuller previously worked together in "Love Finds You in Charm" (2015).
