via Hallmark: "After Hope Valley learns redemption is possible, Abigail and Frank pursue a romance before the heart of the town is tested by the threat of a gang of outlaws.

Elizabeth and Jack's relationship is touched by jealousy when a woman from Jack's past unexpectedly arrives in Hope Valley. Then, just as Abigail decides to cast her concern aside and give in to her deepening attraction to Frank, the whole town becomes a target for Jake Garrison and his violent gang. While Bill grows overprotective of Abigail's safety, Jack refuses to let the people of Hope Valley give in to their fear, leading to a dramatic conclusion that will see an unlikely ally willing to stand and fight-and the strength of this small town tested."

Hallmark Hall of Fame Returns to CBS with All New Original Film, "Hear My Song"!

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: Hear My Song

This is a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation!

Network: CBS ?

Original Air Date: CBS pulled this movie from it's originally scheduled premiere date. Stay tuned for details!

CAST:

Dustin Hoffman ... Mr. Carvelle
Kathy Bates ... headmistress
Debra Winger ... Ms. Steel
Garrett Wareing ... Stet
Eddie Izzard ... Drake
Josh Lucas ... Gerard
Kevin McHale ... Wooly
Joe West ... Devon

PLOT:

via CBS Press Release:

New "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation HEAR MY SONG, starring Academy Award winners Dustin Hoffman and Kathy Bates, Academy Award nominee Debra Winger, Emmy Award winner Eddie Izzard, Josh Lucas and Kevin McHale will be broadcast Saturday, April 16 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The inspirational, music-filled movie tells the tale of a neglected 12-year-old boy, Stet (Garrett Wareing), whose devilish behavior obscures his angelic singing voice until he enters a boy choir boarding school where the demanding choir master (Hoffman) drives him to achieve beyond his wildest dreams.

After the passing of Stet's mother, his affluent father, Gerard (Josh Lucas, "A Beautiful Mind," "The Mysteries of Laura"), is summoned to Texas, where he finally meets the son he's kept a secret from his wife and daughters home in New York City. Stet's supportive school principal, Ms. Steel (Debra Winger, "Terms of Endearment," "An Officer and a Gentleman"), reveals to Gerard what an exceptional singer Stet is, and easily persuades him to enroll Stet in a boarding school that's home to the country's leading boys choir.

At first, Stet is shunned by his classmates due to his untrained voice, inability to read music and bad-boy demeanor. Though the choir's demanding conductor, Mr. Carvelle (Dustin Hoffman, "Rain Man," "Kramer vs. Kramer"), and Carvelle's aloof musicologist, Drake (Eddie Izzard, "Ocean's Thirteen," "The Riches"), are intimidating to Stet at first, the school's feisty headmistress (Kathy Bates, "Misery," "American Horror Story") and Wooly (Kevin McHale, "Glee"), a kind young teacher, offer the nurturing he needs.

Stet's superb training and inner grit eventually propel him to be a contender for the lead role in the choir, a long unchallenged position held by his fiercest rival, Devon (Joe West). Finally, after finding people who believe in him, Stet achieves a level of skill, success and serenity that he never thought possible.
