Frankie (a waitress) played by Kira Jacobs and Johnny (a female short-order cook who works in the same restaurant) played by Danni Fletcher are discovered in bed. It is their first encounter, after having met several weeks ago on the job, and Frankie is hopeful that Johnny will get dressed and depart, so she can return to her usual routine of watching TV and eating ice cream. But Johnny, a compulsive talker (and romantic), has other ideas and declares her love for Frankie, a notion that she, at first, considers to be ridiculous. She has had more disappointments than delights in life, and Johnny is the veteran of one broken marriage already. And neither of them is in the bloom of youth. Yet out of their sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious interplay the promise of a relationship beyond a "one-night stand" does begin to emerge...
