The sprawling Nesmith clan helped found Lower Congaree, South Carolina. Problem: they’re slightly nuts. Second problem: their land is cursed, or something. Third, fourth, fifth problems: Their father/uncle was abusive; he’s dead; and only heirs who attend the funeral will inherit.

​

But when Truluck Nesmith suffered his eventually-fatal stroke, his oldest son Ash turned the haunted plantation wedding destination, which supports and employs their vast clan of cousins, into the site of an enormously successful reality show. Ash’s brother Sullivan and cousins Rhys and Olivia aren’t happy about it. But Rhys has student loans to pay. Sullivan and Olivia want recompense for their childhood. And their fifth cousin Henry was never supposed to come to Cypress Bend, much less stick around.

​

Forced to tolerate the gross intrusion of California producers, grip guys, and cameras, toting a metric ton of childhood trauma, the cousins have plenty of animosity for each other, along with a strong aversion for the paranormal shenanigans of their childhood home. But when the funeral goes fucktangular and the cousins are cut out of the will, Sullivan, Rhys, and Olivia are offered the deal of a lifetime. To take it, they’ll have to become the witchy Kardashians with a Southern drawl. They hate it. But as weird tumbles into weirder, they’ll have to come together as a family. Or else.
