Gabrielle Maple is a waitress in an Arizona diner at the edge of the Petrified Forest who feels trapped in a provincial dead-end and has all but given up on her dream of a finer, more meaningful life as an artist in France. Alan Squier is a disillusioned writer who is hitchiking his way to the Petrified Forest where he is planning to commit suicide. When Squier stops into the diner, he reinvigorates Maple's dreams of a better life and begins to find his own sense of self-worth revitalized.
