Quincy Adams is a beautiful, driven, workaholic with a heart of gold, one that pulls her in the direction of home this New Year's Eve. Only, home is in a remote Texas town, two thousand miles away from her Manhattan high rise office. As a television writer for a very scripted "Unscripted" show, Quincy worked straight through the Christmas Holidays to meet deadline to be met with another episode deadline for the approaching New Year. Her dad put in a plea to have his only daughter home to ring in the New Year with him. She's missed every holiday for the last two years. He's a firm believer in the superstition of whatever you find yourself doing on New Year's Eve, and whomever you find yourself with... is who and what you will be doing the rest of the year. When Quincy's boss waits too long to give her the okay to take off, she finds it impossible to get a last-minute flight. Thus, a laptop in the passenger seat of a rent a car with no four-wheel drive , and a very poorly planned two thousand mile road trip is underway. Quincy makes it seven hours before snow flurries fall, guiding her into the only open diner in a small town somewhere outside of Roanoke, Virginia. Right remote town, wrong state. Quincy is still nineteen hours from home, and every inch of snow takes another hour away from the countdown to New years Eve. The Sidecar doesn't look too terrible to be stranded in. Apart from the geriatric ward of sparce customers and waitstaff, they at least have internet. Quincy is more concerned over her deadline than she is the storm keeping her from her destination, so she's actually fine to stay put... that is if The Sidecar plans to stay open through the New Year's storm. Before Quincy can beg, "Keep the coffee coming," and "Where's the nearest outlet," She'll come face to face with a not so geriatric chef. Enter Ryan Craddock, the unexpectedly good-looking, brooding force behind the infamous last stop diner.
