SYNOPSIS

Set in 1975 In a small town dime store in West Texas during a blistering heat wave, Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean opens at the 20th reunion of the Disciples of James Dean Fan Club in the Five & Dime whose manager, feisty Bible-banging Juanita is a reluctant hostess. The few remaining club members include fragile Mona, the dime store clerk, who has brought her memory to life in the person of her son, Jimmy Dean, who she claims is the son of the star; pregnant Edna Louise and exuberant Stella May. Sexy Sissy, always the most voluptuous girl in town, still says, "If you've got 'em, bounce 'em." There's also a mystery guest, the glamorous Joanne. In an afternoon, the women partake of memories, nostalgia, self-analysis, accusation, hocking revelations, and anger. Their memories trigger flashbacks – featuring Young Mona, Young Sissy and Joe – to 1955 when the proximity of James Dean served as a catalyst in all of their lives, giving some the courage to realize their dreams and others, the timid ones, the courage at least to dream them. The arrival of a joanne sets off a series of confrontations that smash their delusions and expose bitter disappointments
