Bedfellows — Johnny Payne

What does a South Florida philosophy professor turned car salesman do when he can't fall out of love with a passionate, smart, witty, sexy redneck gal who just can't stay faithful? What do you do when the yearning melancholy animal overtakes the man of reason? Jackson and Annette get to the heart of the matter when she has to travel up to the Alabama panhandle to pay a last visit to her beloved, dying, wickedly rambunctious grandmother Estelle. Seeing Annette attached to a likely man, her kin go in cahoots to see if they can engineer a wedding between tempestuous Annette and her laid-back but anxious suitor. Along the way there is a funeral to be held, fishing and hunting to be done, liquor to be drunk and canasta to be played. Jackson is a stranger in a strange but friendly land. Can the family tame Annette's wild and stubborn ways enough to make her see that Jackson might be the man of her dreams?
