Holmes Chapel, 1985:

Best friends since childhood, Harry and Thea have grown up to lead lives on opposite ends of the spectrum. He's a journalist for Rolling Stone, always country-hopping and eagerly awaiting the next big thing. She's been a waitress at the diner in their hometown for five years, bound by routine. Thea and Harry keep in touch through letters and postcards until the day he returns home and flips her world upside-down.
