Based on the 1996 film by Lee David Zlotoff, this musical depicts the journey of a young

woman just released from prison, who decides to start life anew in a rural Wisconsin Town.

A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill.  It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off.  Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins.  Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill.
