Robin Birdie Lormand, a flower-child from birth/old hippie chick till death, is determined to clear out the heavy root barnacles from her life bag when she reluctantly travels home for her errant father's funeral in St. Armand, Louisiana after running away to New Orleans 30 years ago. Armed with a chisel, a hammer, a chef, a priest, and advice from a Voodoo shrink, Robin irreverently and comically faces her angry half-siblings, her dead father, her jilted first lover, as well as her current lover, Sam St. Germain, who follows her home against her wishes and learns the truth about Robin's secret and bizarre past. All of this happens in one tragically funny weekend that shatters the small, safe hothouse where Birdie, the young flower-child, has been waiting for the past 30 years to root, sprout, and blossom.
