Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award-winner Tom Selleck stars in TWELVE MILE ROAD, a television movie to be rebroadcast as the "CBS Sunday Movie," Sunday, June 19 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. In the drama, Selleck portrays a divorced farmer whose life is thrown into turmoil by the unexpected arrival of his emotionally troubled daughter who comes to stay for the summer. (Originally broadcast 9/28/03)
Wendy Crewson ("Air Force One," "24"), Maggie Grace ("Murder in Greenwich") and Anna Gunn ("The Practice") also star.
Stephen Landis (Selleck) is a happy man on the surface with unresolved regrets underneath whose sweet and loving girlfriend, Leah (Gunn), and her teenaged daughter, Roxanne (Tegan Moss), have recently moved in with him. Their peaceful country life is soon completely disrupted by the arrival of Stephen�s wild and unpredictable 16-year-old daughter, Dulcie (Grace). At first Stephen thinks his overwhelmed ex-wife, Angela (Crewson), whom he still misses, has exaggerated Dulcie�s troubles. However, he soon witnesses Dulcie�s bizarre and destructive behavior, and though he intentionally acts nonchalantly during Dulcie�s outbursts, he secretly fears for her sanity.
Despite her intense misgivings about staying at the farm, Dulcie finds herself forming an unlikely friendship with the sweet, though impressionable Roxanne � and Roxanne�s new boyfriend, Will (Patrick Flueger), the religious 17-year-old son of Stephen�s friends and farmer neighbors, Asa and Henrietta (Tim Henry and Beverley Breuer). As time passes, Dulcie begins to thrive in her new surroundings, and her growing bond with Stephen creates an unforeseen opportunity for her family to finally address and heal the wounds of the past.
TWELVE MILE ROAD is a production of Fox Television Studios. Laurie Marie Parker ("The Education of Little Tree," "Mr. And Mrs. Loving") is the executive producer; Richard Friedenberg (who wrote the screenplay for "A River Runs Through It") directed from his own script that is based on the novel "Mystery Ride" by Robert Boswell.
