The story is mostly told through the eyes of Charlie White, a young man who comes to the town seeking summer employment, eventually landing a job in a popular restaurant. While in Staunton, he embraces the charm and idiosyncrasies of the town, befriends some of the unique and at times quirky residents, discovers a gay subculture and attempts to find love.
