因工廠倒閉而失業的中年男子羅素葛林帶著一家老小來到菊苣溪，準備與當地一名醫師同住，並為他建築商業地產。未料該名醫師驟逝，遂暫住於母親海蒂的老友艾拉瑪家中。艾拉瑪古道熱腸，視羅素一家如親家人。在他家中，羅素驚見失聯已久的弟弟喬的幼子納森，對他亦視如己出。沒工作、無法回家、到菊苣溪原本的希望落空，使羅素情緒複雜，難以平復。世態炎涼，人情冷暖中，羅素該何去何從？全家將來又會如何？天使們在這其中又扮演什麼角色？
Monica is downcast because she has failed on one of her assignments, but Tess tells her to buck up because the cavalry's on the way. The two angels watch as Russell Greene and his family pass by in a Suburban truck towing an Airstream trailer. After being laid off from his factory job in North Carolina, Russell packed up his wife, two children and mother to head to her home town, Chicory Creek, Kentucky where an old friend, Doc Rogers has promised to give Russell a job. They arrive, however, just in time for the doctor's funeral. Erasmus Jones, another family friend, allows the Greenes to pull the trailer in his yard while Russell determines his next move.

Monica is downcast because she has failed on one of her assignments, but Tess tells her to buck up because the cavalry's on the way. The two angels watch as Russell Greene and his family pass by in a Suburban truck towing an Airstream trailer. After being laid off from his factory job in North Carolina, Russell packed up his wife, two children and mother to head to her home town, Chicory Creek, Kentucky where an old friend, Doc Rogers has promised to give Russell a job. They arrive, however, just in time for the doctor's funeral. Erasmus Jones, another family friend, allows the Greenes to pull the trailer in his yard while Russell determines his next move.
Complicating matters further is the fact that his brother, Joe skipped town, leaving Nathaniel, a nine-year old son, with Erasmus. Disappointed that the American dream has gone sour for him, Russell takes his wife, Claire's advice and prays for guidance. Unseen, Tess and Monica watch and realize that Russell is their man. The next day, Dinah prompts Erasmus to tell her father about Doc Rogers' "unfinished business"--the late doctor was visited by two angels who had come to help him save Chicory Creek. She thinks that since Russell doesn't have a job, he can travel to New York and try to persuade a big-city doctor to return to her home town and open up a clinic. Although he is skeptical, Claire talks her husband into making the trip, and Erasmus asks him to tell Dr. Rebecca Cousins that "her Daddy loves her." On the bus, Russell sits next to Monica, unaware of her true identity. In New York, he meets Dr. Cousins and chides her for abandoning the community that scraped together and helped put her through medical school. On the return trip to Chicory Creek, Russell discovers he has lost his bus ticket and only has enough money to get to Hensen. Disgusted with the "United States of Greedy People," Russell meets Tess, who spearheads a collection from the passengers to get him all the way back home. Once they get off the bus, she reveals herself, telling him that God wants his family to discover America and help others along the way.
