Synopsis:

In upstate New York, seemingly located off the beaten highway, is the roadside tavern, "Pete & Dolly's", where Victor, an introverted, over-weight pizza chef, maintains his daily vigil. Under the domineering sway of his mother, Dolly, Victor cooks her an elaborate breakfast every morning and does whatever else she wants. It amounts to a very passive, out-of-the-mainstream existence. Into this settled little world comes Callie, a beautiful, but directionless, college dropout, whom Victor immediately develops a crush on. Reticent nearly to the point of invisibility, Victor can barely manage to communicate with her, but they casually interact, which stimulates Victor, trapped in his stagnant and empty life, to further obsession. Delores, a veteran, hard-boiled waitress, still sexy and perhaps a little too available, and Leo the barfly, complete the circumscribed universe of the tavern. As circumstances change, conflicts emerge and then erupt, and Victor must face the world around him with a changed perspective and different responsibilities.

The plot focuses on an overweight, middle-aged man (Vince) whose life is forever changed after an enchanting, college-aged girl (Tyler) attains a waitress job at a roadside diner where he is employed by his mother (Winters). The film's themes include loneliness, false hope, and the problem of self worth.

The life of an overweight, unhappy cook is forever changed after a kind, beautiful college drop-out comes to work as a waitress at he and his mother's roadside restaurant.
