Jana Kramer has roles in two upcoming films, Heart of the Country and Approaching Midnight. In Heart of the Country, Kramer’s character, Faith, heads to New York City in pursuit of a music career, but ends up falling in love with her husband, Luke. After she finds out that Luke is not as he seems and he ends up getting arrested, Faith heads back to North Carolina, where she renews her friendship with Lee, a doctor. The film also follows her relationship with her father (portrayed by Gerald McRaney).

In the war-themed film Approaching Midnight, Kramer plays Aspen Malverne, daughter of a small town mayor. According to the trailer, Kramer’s character dies in the film, lending mystery to the plot. Sam Khaleghi portrays a soldier returning from war in Afghanistan (Malverne was his girlfriend), to the ensuing drama of his girlfriend’s death and the suspicion that her father might be running an illegal arms trade.
