The Man Eaters
In small-town Oklahoma, a woman's choice in a husband says a lot about how she sees herself. But when she marries five times and each of her husbands ends up dead or vanishing into the night, well, that determines how the town sees her. If this widow is your grandmother? That curse follows you around like a swarm of gnats.
Twenty-three-year-old Dylan Black has more than a few secrets: a violent husband, a past of sexual abuse, and a hatred for her indifferent mother. She wants nothing more than to escape the cruel hand life has dealt her, but this is her normal. When her grandmother, the sparky pariah, nicknamed "The Man Eater," can't bear to watch Dylan suffer another day, she takes matters into her own hands, even roping Dylan's mother into the scheme. Dylan must choose to take the opportunity her grandmother gives her or likely die at the hands of an all-American monster. Unfortunately, he's much harder to get rid of than they anticipate, but after an accident, during which they think they've killed him, the accusing town closes in and the women slip away. On this journey of healing, three generations of women confess their sins against one another and find hope in No-Man's Land. This is a love story between mothers and daughters, wallowing with woman in her purest form--without man.
