在这部完美馅饼剧情片中,故事梗概:
一个阳光明媚的秋日,当红歌星弗朗西斯卡回到了阔别三十年的家乡玛尔莫洛小镇,这里住着她少年时的好朋友帕齐。得知弗朗西斯卡要回家乡演出,帕齐早已按照三十年前的老样子,布置好房间并作好了其它的准备工作。看到家里熟悉的房间布置,弗朗西斯卡的记忆不禁回到了三十年前。
三十年前,帕齐是在学校操场的草坪上认识如今的弗朗西斯卡、当年的玛莉的。由于玛莉母亲的原因,玛莉几乎吃住在帕齐家、和帕齐行同姐妹并成为组成帕齐家庭的重要一员。在帕齐妈妈的帮助下,原本就有音乐天赋的玛莉在唱歌方面有了很大的进步。在后来共同的学习中,玛莉对汤尼同学产生了爱慕之情。在两人相约参加一次舞会时,由于汤尼的疏忽,让玛莉在回家的路上惨遭几个无赖的凌辱。
从那以后,玛莉就有了寻死的念头。在火车迎面开来的铁轨上,多亏了帕齐奋力推开了玛莉才阻止了一幕惨剧的发生。如今三十年过去,虽然三十年中玛莉的歌唱事业如日中天,但三次婚姻的失败让玛莉对一切都失去了激情,唯一没有忘却的就是与帕齐行同姐妹的友谊。

On the invitation of her childhood best friend Patsy McCann née Willets, famed opera singer Francesca Prine - whose real name is Marie Beck - returns to Marmora, Ontario to sing in a benefit concert. Patsy and Marie were best friends from the time Marie and her family arrived in Marmora when she was ten years old to the time she left Marmora at age fifteen, which was thirty years prior. With the exception of Don Rayford on who Marie had a crush, Patsy was shy Marie's only friend in Marmora. However, Marie and Patsy have not been in touch since due to issues that drove Marie out of town at the time. Those issues include Marie being physically abused by her alcoholic mother, but most specifically what happened the evening of the Sadie Hawkins dance - where Don accompanied Marie - and post dance down by the railroad tracks. Marie and Patsy's reunion may not be able to endure the thirty years of silence and the events of that night.
