A spirited Southern comedy about a woman fighting to reinvent herself and escape small-town gossip through a beauty contest, driven by charm and self-determination.

Unhappy Carnelle Scott is desperate to escape her reputation as Yazoo City's 'Miss Hot Tamale.' She throws herself into a do-or-die effort to win the Mississippi town's big talent contest, an honor won ten years ago by her older sister and unattainable role model Elain.
