Ellen Richmond, founder of Homelearn.com, is invited to return to her home town - Clark - to receive the ""Spread Your Wings"" award for her achievement in being a role model for the city. After crossing the country for 18 hours, Ellen feels like time has never affected the city. Everything remains apparently the same. Her sister Catherine is still getting involved with no-future men, her mother keeps her room exactly the same when she left, and her old high school teacher, Mr. Munn, is still teaching.

Seeing that her life in LA might not be as exciting as she thinks, Ellen
