A tonal hybrid that weaves together a woman's liberation fantasy with a young man's reckoning with racial injustice in the segregated South, balancing dark subject matter with comedic irreverence.

An abused wife heads to California to become a movie star while her nephew back in Alabama has to deal with a racially-motivated murder involving a corrupt sheriff.
