When Maxine's turbulent family situation takes her from urban Chicago to rural Tennessee for the summer, every part of her life is flipped upside-down. Her eccentric aunt is nice, but what will others say about the new girl? As the changes shaking her life throw her into the arms of another girl, she's got even more obstacles to face. What exactly is their relationship? Is it just a summer fling? What will other people say? What will happen when summer ends? All of these questions and few answers lead to a very interesting Southern Summer.
