In the unassuming Midwestern town of Small Wells, the local newspaper is the hub of excitement, as anything that makes the front page is considered a big deal. Mark Jansen, the paper's editor, is particularly thrilled when a mysterious wish well in the town starts granting wishes - but only if they're made with the right intentions. When Mark's daughter makes a wish, it unexpectedly brings a big-city celebrity magazine editor to town, Cynthia Tamerline. She becomes Mark's apprentice, just as the paper is on the verge of financial collapse, forcing Mark to consider selling out to a powerful Chicago press syndicate.
