Once upon a time in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, a man named Floy Beaudine, his wife, Mayrene, his meddling mother-in-law, and a ten-foot python named Elvis, unintentionally started a war that completely divided the entire population in the town of Blackjack.
It began with a half-baked plan that evolved into an escaped snake, a missing wife, a chief of police whose only experience with real crime was the discovery of a grow-patch in his granny’s backyard, which then culminated in an unlawful arrest for a murder that never happened.
The silver lining in this story ends with Floy becoming the undaunted hero in an ice storm of the century, saving the lives of children and parents in the town that had once marked him a killer.
If you want to laugh until you hurt. If you understand the feeling of betrayal, and the revenge-bent need for justice, then you have reached your destination.
