New Madrid, Missouri, a southeast Missouri rural town on the Mississippi River endured devastating earthquakes in 1811 and 1812. A fictitious earthquake sets the stage for a reunion for long-time friends who grew up there in the mid-50s and 70s. This reunion brings about a renewal of friendship and telling experiences of the childhood, both humorous and serious. Conversations about the current social and political issues facing the country reveal wide divergences of opinions as to "how to deal with them now." Racism rears its ugly head near the end of their reunion weekend with surprising results.
