A dealer in "outsider" art travels from Chicago to North Carolina to meet her new in-laws, challenging the equilibrium of this middle class Southern home.
Successfull Carolinian George Johnsten meets Chicago art gallery holder Madeleine at an electoral benefit art auction- love at first sight. Madeleine decides to meet a Southern original artist, so George seizes the opportunity to come along and present her to his South Carolina parents Eugene and Peg, drop-out brother Johhny and his high-pregnant wife Ashly. Confronting the outsider soon opens a can of worms as emotions revive or emerge, like admiration and jealousy.
