Rural Kentucky in the 1950s is not an easy place to grow up, and it's especially hard for ten-year-old Icy sparks, an orphan who lives with her grandparents. Life becomes even more difficult for Icy when violent tics and uncontrollable cursing begin-symptoms brought on by a troubling affliction that goes undiagnosed until her adulthood.
