A warm, character-driven romantic comedy about second chances and unexpected love blooming in a New York diner between a reformed ex-convict and a guarded waitress.

When Johnny is released from prison following a forgery charge, he quickly lands a job as a short-order cook at a New York diner.

While Frankie resists Johnny's charms initially, she eventually relents when her best friend, Tim, persuades her to give Johnny a chance.
