Josie and Delia are best friends and co-hosts on their own public access TV show, Midnite Matinee. But the end of senior year is coming, and Josie is torn between pursuing her television dreams in a new city or staying making TV with her BFF.

Dillard ”Dill” Early bor i Forrestville (sydstatsby i Tennessee, opkaldt efter en medstifter af Ku Klux Klan). Hans to venner, Lydia og Travis, er det eneste, der gør hans tilværelse nogenlunde værd at leve. Alle vegne må han bekæmpe giftslanger: Derhjemme tvinger hans præstefar ham til at tage sig af de dødbringende klapperslanger, og i skolen må han slås mod de skolekammerater, der har udset sig ham som et nemt offer på grund af hans fars ekstremt stærke tro og hykleriske fald fra tinderne. Faren var med i en religøs sekt og blev fængslet for besiddelse af børneporno. Alle i en lille by husker, og Dill har ingen steder at flygte hen. Men nu er det sidste skoleår.

His dad is in prison for a shocking crime, and his mom is struggling to make ends meet. The only things getting Dill through senior year are his guitar and his fellow outcasts, Travis and Lydia. Travis is an oddball who finds comfort from his violent home life in an epic fantasy book series. And Lydia is like no one else: fast-talking, creative and fiercely protective. Dill fears his heart will break when she escapes to a better life elsewhere. What Dill needs now is some bravery to tell Lydia how he feels, to go somewhere with his music - and to face the hardest test of all when tragedy strikes.
