Synopsis
Welcome to the pumpkin capital of the world, where the pumpkins are epic and the rivalries are fierce. Dinah Little, a no-nonsense farmer, reluctantly takes in her abandoned niece, Charlie. Dinah is not quick to affection, and Charlie is not one for sitting still. So, Dinah throws her into farm life. Then comes the town's biggest spectacle, the annual pumpkin-growing contest, a Halloween season tradition that brings out wild stunts, eccentric characters, and record-setting drama. But Charlie has something no one else does, a special knack for connecting with plants that quietly reflects her own longing to feel just as seen and loved. As pumpkin and plot thicken, and rival growers pull every trick in the book, will Charlie and Dinah's unlikely entry stand tall against the fiercest competition the town has ever seen? As her pumpkin grows bigger, so does her bond with her aunt Dinah. Together they discover that the real prize is not measured in pounds, but in joy, laughter, and community.
