The Pollitt family gathers at the Mississppi family estate to celebrate the birthday of patriarch Big Daddy (Rick Pine), who believes he has just been given a clean bill of health. The web of deceit the family has constructed over the years begins to unravel throughout the course of the evening, uncovering the strained marriage of son Brick (Matt Duchnowski) and his unfulfilled wife "Maggie the cat" (Lauren Suchenski); the despair of Big Mama (Dori McCrane) as she is faced with the truth about Big Daddy's condition; and the avarice of Brick's brother Gooper (Paul Cohen) and his wife Mae (Nancy Vander Zwan).
