Nicki has played a number of roles in Maddie’s life: childhood best friend, secret girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, and now adult best friend. The one role she isn’t ready for? Maid of Honor. In all her Ole Miss beauty queen glory, Nicki is determined to have one last amazing weekend with Maddie before she gets hitched. But when Penny, another bridesmaid who flies in from New York, forces Nicki to confront her true feelings, all hell breaks loose. In the bridal suite old rivalries resurface, insecurities rise, and secrets bubble to the surface as the booze flows freely. All the while, time is running out for Nicki to make her decision, and in the distance, a storm is brewing. This Southern, queer romcom (which may or may not be loosely based on true events) explores the joyful, complex, and hilarious relationships of women in the American South.
