Miranda Presley (no relation) is following her dream to be a songwriter all the way to Nashville. She is alone in the world following the death of her father and is determined to make her way in the Country-Western music industry. Her first stop is The Bluebird Café where auditions are held weekly to choose songwriters to perform their own songs on open mike night.

Miranda (Samantha Mathis) is too late to audition that week, but she meets other aspiring songwriters of her own age group: Linda Lue Linden (Sandra Bullock) a southern belle who offers to share a room with her in the eccentric nearby motel, James Wright (River Phoenix) who has published and has a recording contract and a bad boy attitude, and Kyle Davidson (Dermot Mulroney) who rapidly develops a crush on her.
