Its 1998 and you are fresh out of high school and still living in your home town. Pleasant is a rural little town in the heart of Louisiana, the kind of place where the churches still outnumber the bars but by a small enough margin to give the preachers something to rail about every Sunday. You grew up here, went to school here and are...still here. The why of it is something you just haven't figured out for yourself yet. But Sam, a local party hound, is throwing a party for all the grads of Pleasant Pines High no matter the year of their graduation. The translation is simple, grads from the last six years will be drunk and rowdy at Sam's trailer until cops come to scatter the still ambulatory at dawn. There are a few faces you wouldn't mind seeing again even if you only graduated last year. And maybe you can suss out for yourself why you haven't left Pleasant if you have a red solo cup in your hand and loud enough music playing over Sam's stereo...
