What do four LSU fraternity brothers, three Auburn sorority sisters and a Birmingham volunteer church group have in common? Theyâre on a road trip to the iconic Flora-Bama Lounge & Package to first experience the world-famous Interstate Mullet Toss! Unbeknownst to them, theyâre on an unprecedented collision course for fun, sun and subtle fameâmeaning their lives will certainly never be the same.
The Flora-Bamaâs new owners, against the wishes of their minority partner, have cut a lucrative Hollywood deal to produce a âno-holds-barredâŚanything goesâ documentary on the zany, voyeuristic beach party known for string bikinis, cold beer, frothy bushwhackers and of course, thrown fish. The filmmakers have coughed up major dough, and have been given full reign of the quintessential beach bar and its patrons for the duration of the risquĂŠ four-day event. What they witness and capture on film is wilder than anything Tinsel Town could have scripted.
In their quest for a memorable time the college kids find unforgettable adventure. Amazingly, all the frat guys hook up with people who look better than them. The unfortunate fact for one is that unbeknownst to him, his significant otherâa gorgeous church volunteer and preacherâs daughterâis underageâby almost two years. After a raucous night, an arrest lands the two in the local hoosegow, where that latter, salient fact is painstakingly revealed, warranting a more serious charge.
The desperate kids seek and find help in the iconic barâs founder, Joe, who uses local resources to try and ease them out of the jam they precariously find themselves. However, the gig is complicated by the fact that Hollywood producers have trained their cameras on the developing story, spooking the entrenched power players within the good oleâ boy network who will determine what level and brand of Southern-style justice is ultimately servedâif at all.
The loveable bar owner, Joe, and his inner circle of unique characters, musicians and connected island dwellers are challenged like never before to save not only the reputations and records of the kids he has befriendedâbut for posterity, the character of his beloved beach bar and the community it faithfully supports.
A fast-paced yarn reminiscent of its predecessor, âThey Met at the Alabama-Florida Line,â is the second fictional tome by Chris Warner set at the world-famous Flora-Bama Lounge & Package. It is another romantic, satirical tale seeking to draw semblance to Southern living, art, failed politics and pop culture. Dedicated to everyone who has fallen in love at; and with, the Flora-Bama.
