In the midst of a howling blizzard, a busload of passengers holes up in a roadside diner outside Kansas City. On the bus is a nightclub chanteuse named Cherie, who is being pursued by Bo, a cowboy who wants to sling her over his shoulder and carry her off to Montana.
Overnight, the owner of the café and the bus driver explore a long-overdue friendship, an aging scholar learns a valuable lesson, and love, with a touch of humility, appears unexpectedly in this classic romantic comedy by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, William Inge.
