  Roxy Carmichael (Ava Fabian) is famous and has lived a luxurious life in Hollywood for the past 15 years. Now Roxy is returning to her small town of Clyde, Ohio, and excitement is in the air. It impacts the lives of many–including Roxy's ex-husband Denton Webb (Jeff Daniels). But perhaps the most affected is high-school outcast Dinky Bossetti (Winona Ryder) who has been adopted and is convinced that Roxy is her birth mother.
