Lainie was planning to drive to Santa Fe, New Mexico, but the car she bought with her last savings just died upon reaching Last Chance. She's on the run from her boyfriend and the gang he was involved in. Moreover, it seems when she escaped, she accidentally took his stash with her (it was sewn into the backpack). The town took her in, with a free room (though the lady talks about the Bible every chance she got and requires Lainie to attend church on Sunday), the bar's owner Ray is nice but distant, and even the sheriff is guarded but otherwise friendly. With the car dead beyond resurrection, and her friend has news that her BF had been looking for her, it seems Lainie had nowhere to go... except stay in town. She got a job to help out the cafe in town which gives the owner time to deal with her son, and get to know all of the characters, and even come to love Ray, the bar owner. However, Ray's leaving when his brother got back, and when Lainie heard that her boyfriend is out of the hospital, it's time to leave town before he can find her...
Cute complex characters with complex lives. You know the evil ex is going to show up, and Ray is going to save the day. Trope plot, nice characters.
