"She doesn't want much... just a new life!"

The imminent homecoming of rock star Roxy Carmichael sends the good folks of her small Ohio hometown into a frenzy of preparation. Among those anxiously anticipating this joyous reunion are Denton, Roxy's old boyfriend (Jeff Daniels) and Dinky Bossetti (Winona Ryder), a troubled teen who is obsessed with the notion that Roxy is her natural mother.

The town fathers are preparing a welcome.  The town mothers are trying to spruce up.  The high school band is practicing a fanfare, and Dinky's getting ready to leave.
