“When the patrons of the Doublestack Diner stopped for a quick bite to eat on Christmas Eve, they didn’t anticipate that six inches of snow would mysteriously fall on Hwy 27. And the City of Colquitt doesn’t own a snowplow! Trapped in their booths for what looks like the night, the gang of locals and out-of-towners alike band together to make the best of their situation. And it’s not just the pancakes that are double-stacked, it’s the love stories, too!”
