Life Moves

When animosities between a pastor and his bartender daughter result in a lawsuit between them, a mediating judge orders them to swap roles at work for a week before pronouncing judgment. Hiram "Mac" McCoy is a single father and pastor, and Jodie McCoy is his bartender daughter. They used to be extremely close, but lately their personal resentments causes Jodie to sue her father for her share of the family house, which Mac inherited after the accidental death of his wife, Meredith. As a result, Jodie files a lawsuit for the house to be sold and its proceeds divided between them. . Meredith's death is their bone of contention, with each blaming the other for what occurred after Jodie had run out of gas in her car again after being warned multiple times by her dad not to drive on an empty tank. As before, Jodie called her dad to come and help as she was stranded on the shoulder of a highway. But Mac was in yet another church meeting, which Jodie claims was always his priority. So Mac called Meredith, who went to help but was killed when a delivery truck suffered a blowout and a broken wheel rim struck Meredith. . On their appointed court day, the two are called into the judge's chambers, where they break into another argument of back-and-forth shouting, with each defending their own actions before denouncing the other as having no clue about what it's like to "walk in my shoes." Neither is willing to listen, forgive, or even attempt to understand the other. So the judge orders them to swap roles for a week in order to find out. Mac must tend bar and Jody must run the church. At the end of this trial period, the judge says she will issue her decision. Before releasing them, however, she advises them to work this out. "You've already experienced enough loss. Don't let another death divide you permanently."
