when he crashes his car in a freak blizzard. Paul is critically

one fan", who takes Paul back to her remote house in the mountains
(without bothering to tell anybody). Unfortunately for Paul, Annie is
also a head case. When she discovers that Paul has killed off the
heroine in her favorite novels, her reaction leaves Paul shattered
(literally). Rated - R

is unhappily married, squirreling away money, and hoping to win a

to leave her husband Earl. She finds herself pregnant, which throws
her plans awry. She bakes phenomenal pies at Joe's diner, listens to
old Joe's wisdom, tolerates her sour boss Cal, is friends with Dawn
and Becky (her fellow waitresses), and finds a mutual attraction with
the new doctor in town. As the pregnancy advances, life with Earl
seems less tolerable, a way out less clear, and the affair with the
doctor complicated by his marriage. What options does a waitress have?
