Two southern women decide to kidnap babies from undeserving parents. Pretty soon, they run out of room for all the children- until one of the women decides there’s room enough for all of the babies in Heaven.
The darkly comic and harrowing story of Maybelline Ferris, a damaged young woman living with her pregnant sister Saralee and her sister's forlorn husband, Duke, in their run-down family home north of Nashville. Maybelline is the survivor of a brutal assault, and her oldest sister Chanelle is in jail for taking revenge on the assailant. As the play begins, Karen, a close friend of Maybelline’s jailed older sister, marches into the house with the news that “Doolee James’ kid came into Kindercastle today with a black eye. Doolee is beating her child.” That accusation starts a chain of events that tear apart the broken little family, and Maybelline soon finds herself on the verge of helping Karen do the unthinkable.
