| The Honk and Holler, a diner in small-town Oklahoma, has been in business for twelve years with its "opening soon" sign never removed. Fewer strangers pass through town, and the curious local regulars aren't enough business to support the diner anymore. Then comes Vena Takes Horse, hired as a carhop, who shakes up the town and the diner's worn-down owner, the Vietnam vet Caney. She teaches the locals about hope and humor. | ||
