Why did Kathy Knapp, a successful businesswoman, decide to leave her charmed life to bake pie in a dusty town with no traffic light, no gas station, no motel? The area is teeming with Old West history and hardy characters. The film illustrates Kathy's resolve, heartache, healing, and how pie is a vehicle for love and peace. You'll see an alien, a dummy, feel connections to deep space, and hear some finger-snapping tunes. You'll want pie. Welcome to Pie Town, New Mexico. The name is no joke.

Can you imagine what it's like to be around 'the best pies in the universe' having to decide between Cheery Cherry, Starry Starry Blueberry Night, Peachy Keen, Pear and Lemon Ginger, Mixed Berry, Apple Cranberry Crumble'' We maneuvered around this obstacle by not thinking of it as an obstacle but rather an invitation. We did the right thing, erred on the side of diplomacy, and sampled every pie there was to be had. All in the name of research of course...
