As Rocky succumbs to her mother’s urgings, as well as, the other ladies of Last Chance, she agrees to get involved in the three day long watermelon festival. But she soon finds out that she can not help but to also get involved with the little town’s residents (whom she still loves), their business dealings, of course, the ever present gossip.

With a handsome aristocrat from England, no less? Rocky questions over and over, whether she and “Hugh” could be compatible, coming from different worlds, after all. And, Hugh, well he is definitely lured and smitten by Rocky’s charming personality, natural beauty, and smart, yet simple way of thinking.
As the delightful watermelon festival kicks off, she soon begins to observe Hugh judging pies, eating barbeque, fixing stock cars and riding the ferris wheel.
