Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Higher Ground

Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Higher Ground is a heartwarming drama film that premiered on the Hallmark Channel in 2017. It is directed by Kevin Fair and written by Brandi Harkonen and Martha Williamson.

The movie follows the story of the Postables, a tight-knit team of four postal workers who work in the Dead Letter Office. The team includes Oliver O'Toole (Eric Mabius), the team leader and a stickler for rules, Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), the tech-savvy researcher of the team, Rita Haywith (Crystal Lowe), the team's resident musician, and Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson), the quirky, comic relief of the team. The Postables' job involves retrieving undeliverable mail to their rightful owner, and in doing so, they often find themselves caught up in heartwarming and emotional stories that bring people together.

In Higher Ground, the Postables receive a new assignment - to deliver a 100-year-old letter to a mountain-top cabin. The task is especially important because the letter is from a woman who has long since passed away, addressed to her late husband. Within the letter is a secret message, and the Postables must deliver it to the cabin before the new owner moves in.

The team travels to the isolated mountain-top cabin to find it abandoned and in disrepair. As they work to fix up the cabin, they discover that the woman who wrote the letter, Mary Brown, was a talented artist who painted a mural on the cabin walls. They also learn that the new owner of the cabin, a young widow named Phoebe (Kristin Lehman), has a daughter named Amelia (Laci J Mailey) who is struggling to cope with her mother's grief and the loss of her own father.

The Postables soon realize that this is not a typical assignment. They become invested in Phoebe's story and her daughter's struggles, and as they work to uncover the secret message within Mary's letter, they begin to unravel a story of love, loss, and redemption. The team must put their skills to the test to solve Mary's mystery and reunite Phoebe and her daughter with the memory of their loved ones.

Throughout the movie, the Postables are faced with personal struggles of their own. Oliver must confront his feelings for Shane, while Shane grapples with her desire to start a family. Rita grapples with her decision to pursue her passion for music instead of her love life, while Norman is struggling to deal with the absence of his parents. These personal struggles are seamlessly woven into the larger story, adding depth and nuance to the characters.

With its gorgeous, sweeping landscapes and emotional storyline, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Higher Ground is a poignant and uplifting film that explores themes of love, loss, and healing. It is a story of hope and redemption that will leave audiences touched and inspired.
