Jess's childhood is spent peacefully on a farm in the mountains of
North Carolina with his parents and grandmother. Every so often his
life is happily interrupted by visits from his eccentric relatives,
such as his womanizing uncle Luden who sought fortune in
California, his uncle Zeno and his endless stories, his volatile
uncle Gurton and his impressive beard, the country singer Samantha
Barefoot, and his uncle Runkin, who travels with his coffin in
search of the perfect epitaph. But his life is also altered with
the arrival of Johnson Gibbs, an orphaned teenager who the family
hires as a farmhand, and who joins him in his mischief. "La
