Running from her superficial life in Washington D.C., Adelaide Rogers is on her way up to Boston. She's a city girl, waiting to get a fresh start in a new place. When Addy's car breaks down just outside Pine Valley, Connecticut, however, she unknowingly changes the course of not only her own life, but the lives of those she meets. Pine Valley is a far cry from the city, but its small-town charm and a few of its residents connect with Addy in a way nothing else has.
Maggie, long-time diner owner, is in a rut, and meeting Addy gives her the push to decide what she really wants. Is she content being a diner owner for the rest of her life? Meanwhile, Mike, who owns the automotive shop in town, is drawn to Addy and begins to acknowledge what's missing in his life. What would it be like to have a family?
Addy never expected to change lives. She was too busy running away from her own. Besides, she's just passing through. Isn't she?
