The Verdeen cousins could not have picked a worse time to plan a family reunion. Having “accidentally” crashed her minivan through the wall of her husband’s girlfriend’s doublewide, Gaynelle is one frazzled nerve away from a meltdown. Peaches is struggling to decide if it’s time to have her long-absent husband declared dead. And Jimmie Wyvette is resorting to extreme measures to outmaneuver a priss-pot neighbor for the affections of a widower. The three cousins face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season!
