description: Chas Collins is a wounded young hustler immersed in the underworld of a small Southern town in the autumn of 1963. When he falls in love with a gifted blind girl who may be divinely touched or wholly delusional, their unshakable faith collides with sex and violence. Revelations and eruptions shatter the oppressive town, and bookend an era. Accomplices in the apocalypse include a failed cop; a stepmother steeped in scotch and foreign movies; a vengeful Steel Magnolia; a worldly, gay outsider; a minister and his estranged wife; a compassionate detective; a wry Archangel; and a psychic five-year old boy who converses daily with 60s movie goddess Elizabeth Taylor.
