This is the story of Arlene Fleet, who grew up in Possett, Alabama and now resides in Chicago where she is a teaching assistant at a University. When she left her hometown 10 years before, she promised God that she would never lie, never fornicate outside of marriage, and never return to her hometown. In exchange she asked God to never let the body of Jim Beverly, high school quarterback, be found after Arlene killed him.
When her Uncle Bruster retires, her Aunt Florence invites her to come home. Arlene tries to not go, but gets talked into it by her boyfriend. What her family will make of Burr will need to be seen, since Burr is black. On the way down South she breaks the other two vows she made, so she is sure that the body of the quarterback will surely show up. After she arrives, things don't exactly go as planned, but she does find out some startling truths about her family. To tell more will give the ending away.
