Azalea Pruett never dreamed she'd be a waitress in a retro-fifties diner. But like a burger flipped on a hot grill, Zal's life turns upside down after the sudden death of her husband. To her dismay, he's left her on the verge of bankruptcy. Still reeling from the disaster, Zal heads out on the open road with a used Airstream trailer hitched behind a run-down pickup.

In Colorado, an older gentleman, Burt Baxter, takes her under his wing and offers her a job in his bookstore. She researches her family history in the historic mining town and discovers an unexpected skeleton dangling from the family tree.

Zal's caught off guard by the attention of handsome businessman, Tom Jeffers, and the sometimes abrasive wildlife biologist, Jake Bartlett. Just when she's beginning to fit into the community, Burt threatens to close the bookstore, placing her new life in jeopardy.
