story revolves around
a murder/suicide in the
fictitious, tight-knit
southern town o f M id-
way, Tennessee. In
coming to grips with
the tragedy’s ghostly

atheist, to a shrimp-dip
obsessedtown simple­
ton, to an effeminate
new-age spiritualist -
each c h a ra c te r is
played by Mink, who
draws upon a bizarre
repertoire o f distinct
personalities, voices
and facial expressions.
