Just released from a five year prison sentence, feisty Percy Talbott is looking for a fresh start. Reading an old travel book, she discovers the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin and decides to move there. With the help of the local sheriff, Percy gets a job at the only eatery in this struggling town. When owner Hannah decides to raffle off the grill in an essay contest, mail begins to arrive by the wheelbarrow full. Things are getting hot at the Spitfire Grill and Percy's precarious new existence is endangered. This inspirational musical triumph celebrates fresh starts and the power of what one person can do.
