Stars Diner

Between threats of foreclosure, complete incompetence, and angry customers, Wendy and her ragtag staff struggle to keep their beloved Stars Diner afloat. And to make things worse - a geologically improbable volcano threatens to end all life in Fresno, California. Can Wendy find inner strength and use the power of friendship to save the diner from pyroclastic pandemonium and the mediocre forces of regional banking?
