Plot – Peter Joseph - called Peejoe - is a teenager who lives in a remote Alabama town. During the summer of 1965 he lives some experiences that lead him directly to adulthood. His aunt Lucille has beheaded her violent and abusive husband and has closed the head in a hatbox, then she has decided to go to Hollywood to become a television star. Peejoe's uncle, Dove Bullis, is a funeral director, while John Doggett is the town's sheriff who suppresses any black people's manifestation. When he kills Peejoe's black friend, the guy takes courage to report him. In the meantime, in Hollywood Lucille gets some success but she's wanted for her husband's murder and then judged guilty. Judge Mead makes sheriff Doggett to be arrested for violation of human rights and decides a new penalty for Lucille suggesting her to spend five years under psychiatric care. However, she can consider herself a free woman. By the end of the summer, Peejoe thinks he has just learned many important things.
