Dedee Truitt is the opposite of sweet sixteen. Politically incorrect, outrageous, and bracingly honest, she descends on the Indiana town of her half-brother Bill like the force of nature she is. Within weeks Dedee seduces his beautiful but befuddled live-in-boyfriend Matt, announces Matt's the father of her unborn child, and escapes with him--and $10,000 of Bill's money--to the not-so-bright lights of Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Matt's other boyfriend blames Bill for his disappearance, and gets even by pushing for an investigation by the local sheriff--who incidentally carries a torch for Bill's best friend Lucia, a wickedly acid spinster who disapproves of everything Dedee does--and hey, who can blame her?
