Anora Fleece has got it rotten. Her husband's a bastard. Her kids treat her bad. And she lives in the middle of nowhere feeling like a nobody.

That is until a new neighbor, Imogene Cochran, moves in. Imogene sells Kathy K. Kosmetics, make-up for the cocoa skinned woman. Thing is, they don't like cocoa skinned anything in these parts.

But that doesn't stop Imogene and Anora from becoming friends. It also doesn't stop them from becoming more than friends. And when Anora's husband, Cheb, finds them, all hell breaks loose in a confrontation that results in an accidentally dead Cheb.

Anora and Imogene then pile the kids in the Kathy K. car, throw the corpse in the trunk and ride off on a "family" road trip to go bury daddy.
