It’s 1974 in Hazelhurst, Mississippi, and the Magrath sisters are in the throes of family trauma on, of all days, elder-sister Lenny’s 30th birthday. Old Granddaddy, the family patriarch, is in the hospital failing fast. “Babe” is in jail for shooting her husband Zachary because she “didn’t like his looks,” and middle-sister Meg, who fled Hazelhurst after Hurricane Camille to pursue a Hollywood career, has been summoned home. Cousin Chick-the-Stick is stirring up more trouble while Babe’s lawyer, Barnette Lloyd, and Meg’s old flame, Doc Porter, are doing all they can to support the sisters. The Magrath home is filled with dysfunction, grief, wit, and hilarity with heart as big as a “Jumbo Deluxe” birthday cake.
