<div><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Set in the present day,
somewhere below the Mason-Dixon Line, the
beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South is seldom
tidy, often revealing and quite hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to
pull themselves together for their father's funeral, the Turpin's other
misfortunes and secrets continue overshadowing the solemn occasion. Amidst the
chaos, they turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric
community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other
through their hours of need. </span></div>
