Once the queen bee of a small Mississippi town, Sugar Beth Carey returns home broke and humbled after fifteen hard years, only to find her old enemies ready to even the score. Chief among them is Colin Byrne, the teacher whose career she once destroyed and who now owns her family's mansion and has plans of his own for payback. As old wounds resurface, the two are forced into each other's orbit, and what starts as hostility slowly turns into something neither expected. It's a sharp, funny Southern story about facing the consequences of your past and the possibility of redemption.
