Ociee Nash (
Skyler Day) is living a carefree life in rural Mississippi, spending her days playing with her brother,
Ben (
Bill Butler), and her dog,
Woofer. After she befriends a mysterious Gypsy, however, her single father (
Ociee's mother has died) decides this tomboy existence is not the one she should be leading, and decides to send
Ociee to live with her straight-laced
Aunt Mamie (
Mare Winningham) in Ashville, NC, in hopes that she can teach
Ociee to become a proper young lady. While
Ociee is not pleased with the situation, she soon finds interesting people and adventures in her new home. She befriends well-bred
Elizabeth Murphy (
Jasmine Sky) and meets colorful characters such as
Nellie Bly (
Donna Wright),
Orville and
Wilbur Wright (
Sean Daniels and
Ty Pennington), and even
President McKinley (
Daniel Burnley). She also manages to get herself into plenty of scrapes and misadventures, much to the displeasure of
Aunt Mamie. Over time, however,
Ociee and
Aunt Mamie come to understand and appreciate each others' differences, allowing
Ociee's true sprit and character to shine through.
The Adventures of Ociee Nash is based on the novel
A Flower Blooms on Charlotte Street by
Milam McGraw Propst and adapted for the screen by sisters
Amy and
Kristen McGary (who also directs).
