Keri Russell plays Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and cook whose pies are loved by everyone in town.
She dreams of leaving her abusive husband Earl but when she falls pregnant by him, becomes resigned to her fate and cooks up yet another batch of pies, oblivious to the attentions of Dr Jim Pomatter.
But in Adrienne Shelly's bittersweet romantic comedy, love can lie at the end of the unlikeliest of roads. Writer/director Shelly was murdered just before the film made its acclaimed debut at Sundance.
