| It's
a great practical joke. May is determined to get back to Pete.
He's been pulling jokes on her all her life. And now this is going
to be her revenge. Even though it doesn't go off as planned, it is
still great. May and her sisters are ecstatic as they drive home.
But when they get there, they find their lives changed forever. Their
father has had a heart attack and died in his 1967 Firebird. Now
the girls cope with the loss in their own ways. Brooks quits softball
which was her ticket to a college scholarship. She hangs around with
the wrong kids and drowns her sorrow in drink. Palmer, the youngest
of the three, loses herself in her softball workouts and television.
And May tries her best to keep the family going. Will the girls find
what they need to come to terms with their loss? |
