The film follows Percy Talbott, a young woman recently released from prison, as she arrives in the small, economically struggling town of Gilead, Maine. Percy is searching for a fresh start and a chance at redemption. She gets a job at the Spitfire Grill, the only restaurant in town, which is run by the gruff but kind-hearted Hannah Ferguson. Percy's arrival stirs up curiosity and suspicion among the town's residents, who are not used to outsiders.
As Percy begins to settle into her new life, she learns about the town's troubled history and the emotional scars that many of its residents carry. Percy also discovers an old tradition in which the Spitfire Grill is raffled off to a new owner each year, and she convinces Hannah to let her help with the raffle. As the raffle gains attention, it starts to change the lives of the people in Gilead. Secrets are revealed, friendships are formed, and the town begins to heal.
The film explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the power of community. It's a heartwarming and character-driven story that shows how one person's arrival can bring hope and transformation to an entire town.
