Hope Yancey is a young waitress living with her aunt Addie, a restaurant chef. They constantly move around the country when the diners at which they work fail, and Hope is tired of constantly having to leave old friends and make new ones. Hope and Addie end up moving to Mulhoney, Wisconsin, where they both work at a small-town diner owned by G.T. Stoop, a kind man who suffers leukemia. Stoop is unhappy about the corrupt government in the town, and decides to run for mayor himself, despite a vicious smear campaign run by the incumbent, Eli Millstone. Hope, Addie, and the rest of the diner's employees band together to help their boss win the election against all odds.
