The story

The eccentric Magrath sisters—Lenny, Meg, and Rebecca "Babe"—reunite at their family home in Hazlehurst, Mississippi on Lenny's birthday, after Babe shoots and seriously injures her abusive husband, Zackery Botrelle. The three sisters were raised by Old Granddaddy after their mother committed suicide by hanging herself and the family's cat. Lenny is a wallflower who bemoans her shriveled ovary and has lived largely a life of solitude in the familial home caring for Granddaddy, while Babe married and moved in with the wealthy Zackery.
