This new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries drama will take you on a road trip across the United States as two strangers connect with one another. However, the roads depicted in the plot were actually filmed in British Columbia, Canada.

An Instagram post by Patricia Macapagal, a student at the Television and Video Production program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, and Director of Photography, shows quite a few behind-the-scenes shots filmed in Squamish, British Columbia.

Macapagal also shared these crew photos of the movie being shot at night, including in Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia.

Macapagal also shared additional behind-the-scenes moments in these highlights from their Instagram Stories.

British Columbia is no stranger to the Hallmark scene, with its diverse locations and beautiful scenery. With everything seemingly so close together, crews can film a scene at the beach in the morning and go skiing in the mountains in the afternoon, making it easier to film a diversity of views in a short period of time.

The official Crown Media synopsis reads: “Madeline (Robinson Peete) is an aging Hollywood actress who has no meaningful relationships. After a string of bad luck, Madeline hires her assistant’s friend Sarah (Bryant) to drive her from Los Angeles to New York City for an urgent medical appointment. The road trip has a rocky start, as Madeline and Sarah clash due to their different lifestyles and personalities. When their car breaks down and they’re stuck in a charming small town, the pair starts to find some common ground. As they get to know one another, they divulge personal hardships and each provides the support and unconditional friendship needed to help them through it, teaching the women that they can’t run from their past to create the future they want.”
