Rueben's Ramblings

On December 14, the holiday movie Heaven Down Here will debut at 8 PM on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

Inspired by Mickey Guyton’s song, the movie tells the story of four disparate people who find themselves stranded in a local diner on Christmas Eve when a snowstorm hits the town. Imani (Krystal Joy Brown) is a widowed mother of two who’s having trouble making ends meet and reluctantly agrees to work the Christmas Eve shift, where she clashes with her boss Dan (Richard Harmon), who doesn’t exactly embody the Christmas spirit. Felix (Juan Riedinger) is a local pastor desperately trying to secure food for parishioners while his faith is challenged by his son’s alienation. Clara (Tina Lifford) is a hospice nurse with an obstinate patient and whose daughter is moving away, causing her to question her place in this world. Throughout the evening, these four bicker, bond and unwittingly provide each other with the answer to their respective prayers.

The movie also stars Phylicia Rashad.
