4 Male 3 Female
An idiosyncratic look at the way love can remake our
lives in the most surprising ways, it is the story of a
dysfunctional family who must learn to function when
the matriarch, Lee, falls unexpectedly and deeply in
love with Smokey, the owner of a carnival attraction
called the Hell Hole
Curiously, Smokey appears to be somewhat less than human, with horns and claws instead of hands, which Lee can't help but find charming
After they elope, Lee brings Smokey back to the house and her nonplussed children, setting the stage for a showdown of devilish proportions that, ultimately, reveals love as the element of chemistry that makes change possible
