Annabelle (Lively) has never known what life is like outside the fiercely competitive world of beauty pageants; her mother’s (Steenburgen) constant demands of physical perfection driving her to despair. Elvis (Minghella) doesn’t have his mortician’s license, but that doesn’t stop his eccentric father from putting him to work in the family mortuary. A miracle brings the unlikely couple together, taking them on a road trip where they will discover themselves and true love.
