When single mom Kay Harris inherits a failing small-town diner, her eccentric Aunt Zena attempts to liven things up with a 'ghostly' practical joke. But when Zena suddenly suffers a stroke and her spirited prank is mistaken by the townspeople for a spiritual vision, Kay soon discovers that it'll take a real miracle to bring her community and her family back together!
