- The beautiful Colorado Rockies are where Cathy and Maegan call home. Both are single waitresses in their 30's with college degrees. One struggles with being a waitress (she "should get a real job") but she loves her work. The other embraces her chosen profession and its lifestyle. When a handsome newcomer arrives in town and one of the girls starts to fall in love, from ice tea to Opus, we discover what friendship really means.—Patti DiVita
- Have you ever lived in a resort town? Cathy and Meagan do, and they're always having fun in the mountains of Colorado. Rodeos, skiing, sheet pan surfing, camping, horseback riding... you name it. How can they always have so much fun? They work in the restaurant business! But it's not always fun and games. This is real life: people die in avalanche chutes, parents get sick and you move home, and sometimes you darn near slice off a finger cutting peppers for the nice and quiet lady on table 15. But not everyone at table 15 is nice or quiet. Sometimes you want to smack 'em. Sometimes you bust a button laughing with them. That's the business.
Both waitresses are single and have college degrees, but they differ in their views of their chosen careers as well as their life situations. The movie opens to Cathy's 30th birthday with her questioning her life choice to work in the restaurant biz; because of a snide comment that was made to her about being a "single waitress at 30". She feels that she's not going anywhere, in a career sense, at the moment but at the same time really enjoys her life. Shouldn't she get a "real job" and "do something" with her life? She's heard it all before and tried the corporate world but wasn't happy and now isn't sure what to do.
Her friend and co-worker Maegan embraces her chosen career with her flexible and freestyle lifestyle, but ends up having to catch life's curve-balls that are hurled her way. Her friend dies. Her mom gets sick. She gets a letter from home with bad news about her ex. But through it all, she finds strength from her friends and carries on.
Meanwhile, Cathy meets a recent addition to the crop of men new to the county and is enjoying a smooth romance with the handsome newcomer, but she gets nervous as things progress. Can this really work? We'll see. From iced tea to Opus, we re-discover the true meaning of friendships while celebrating the lives of restaurant people with situations and stories based on real-life occurrences.
