When Colie's mother—the queen of the television infomercial—is assigned to explore Europe with her eccentric aunt Mira for the summer, she prepares herself for the worst. Colie has never been accepted at home and doesn't anticipate making any friends in Colby, North Carolina. She was shunned initially for being overweight and then for being "easy".
However, she later gets a job at the Last Chance Cafe, where she meets Isabel and Morgan, two other waiters who are close friends and have a passionate but tumultuous relationship. Colie is given a fresh perspective on herself and the realization of her potential by the wacky but astute Morgan and Isabel.
