SYNOPSIS:
The Fourth of July is just days away,
and 25-year-old Carnelle Scott is dancing her heart out. She has flaming red
hair, a sparkler between her teeth, tap shoes on her feet, and The Star
Spangled Banner on the tape deck, not to mention a burning desire to win the
crown in this year's Miss Firecracker Contest- the annual beauty pageant in her
tiny Mississippi town. Known around town as "Miss Hot Tamale" for a
past that she would like to forget, Carnelle hopes a Firecracker victory will
help her shake her tarnished reputation and leave town in a blaze of glory.
