Then a small-town lawyer calls with news that changes everything: her estranged great-aunt Mavis has left Eleanor her entire estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catch? It's a bar called The Rusty Spur in a Blue Ridge Mountain town of 1,847 people. It has a disco ball, a mechanical bull, and peanut shells on the floor.

She doesn't know how to pull a draft beer, she's never line danced, and she once corrected a customer's handshake technique in the middle of a Saturday night shift.
