Cindy Busby and Benjamin Hollingsworth find love in the new Hallmark movie A Whitewater Romance

Cindy Busby and Virgin River star Benjamin Hollingsworth find love while on a wilderness retreat in the new Hallmark movie A Whitewater Romance.

 

“Maya (Cindy Busby) is a big city girl with limited outdoors experience. Matt (Benjamin Hollingsworth) loves the outdoors. Can these opposites ever learn to see eye to eye—and open their hearts to each other?” reads a description on Hallmark Channel’s Facebook page.

 

 

In the new movie, Cindy Busby plays Maya Alvaro, a hardworking businesswoman with a heart of gold. Maya is thrilled when she finds out she is being considered for a promotion. Her excitement turns to dread when her boss invites her on an executive wilderness retreat. Maya is definitely not an outdoorsy type but she knows that if she wants this promotion, she needs to go along.

 

Soon after she arrives at Whitewater Lodge, she meets Matt (played by Benjamin Hollingsworth), who not only is an outdoorsy type but is also in the running for the same promotion. The two are paired up in a series of team-building exercises such as zip-lining, high-wire rope walking, and whitewater rafting. 

 

According to Hallmark, “As Maya lets her guard down to brave the wild wilderness, what begins as a ferocious competition slowly starts to evolve into something much more.”
