 Sela Ward stars as Sydney Clarke and John Slattery stars as Ben Cameron, the small-town steel mill owner. Sydney is a spoiled famous actress who is shooting a film when she suddenly gets angry and storms off. She wakes up in the middle of nowhere and gets a ride to a small New England town. There she meets and develops a friendship with Joyce (Rebecca Jenkins), a waitress at a bowling alley. There she meets Ben and later when she goes to get a job in that small town, she meets Ben again. Sydney becomes a nurse at the mill. All the men adore her. There they have many great times together, and Sydney realizes how important real friends are and that small towns are better than big name Hollywood. When she goes back, she buys the steel mill for Ben (because it was going to be closed down) and develops a romantic relationship with him.
