Carnelle isn�t happy with her life, so in order to improve herself she enters a local beauty contest, trying to emulate her cousin Elain�s win many years ago. Few think she can win, even her closest friends and relatives (e.g. slightly mad cousin Delmount) think she�s heading for a big disappointment, but Carnelle is ever hopeful, seeing a win as a ticket to escape her small town in Mississippi.
