Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) is the youngest daughter of one of Louisiana's most sophisticated and prosperous families. Her father, Louis (Samuel L. Jackson), is the town's highly respected doctor, a man known for his ability to "fix" things – everything except his own family problems and philandering lifestyle. Her mother Roz (Lynn Whitfield) is a southern woman with an affinity for the traditions of Creole heritage. But Eve is most like her Aunt Mozelle (Debbi Morgan) – impulsive, intuitive, a touch supernatural and possessing the need to know the truth about everything.
