The story

In rural Arkansas during the Depression, middle-aged Kate 'Ma' Barker, disturbed by the childhood incestuous rape that she experienced by her father and brothers, also brutalizes those around her while indulging in her monstrous sexual appetites. She is devoted to her four adult sons, pragmatic Arthur, sadistic Herman, homosexual Fred and loyal, drug-addicted Lloyd. Kate decides to leave her husband George and her Arkansas home to embark on a robbery-murder spree with her four sons.
