Story

When an oil pipeline/rig worker, Noah, returns home to the shores of Mississippi, he finds himself falling for Ana; a beautiful, edgy mechanic from the gulf coast. But his homecoming has resurrected painful memories, and as he considers his future, he must confront his past. Thematically based on Randy Houser's upcoming album Magnolia, Noah's story takes him on a journey through love, heartache, and the unknown. Magnolia is based on the songs, lyrics, and life stories collected from Randy Houser over his career. Both a narrative film and a visual album Magnolia presents a story as seen and heard through Randy's bluesy southern roots.
