In 1982, Evelyns daughter, Jackie, is a frazzled single mother grappling with her absent husbands drug addiction. Jackies son, T.C., loves the creative process of growing marijuana more than the weed itself. He was a square before Hurricane Katrina, but the New Orleans he knew didnt survive the storm.
