Percy Talbott (Alison Elliott) has had few choices in her twentysomething life but she'll make the most of this one. She's chosen Gilead, Maine, as her new home. The town's Spitfire Grill has offered her a second chance. It's not just the burnt toast at the diner, owned by feisty Hannah Ferguson (Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn), that has folks wondering about Percy. It's that she's been in prison the past five years.
