Synopsis

Geese to a Poor Market is a character driven story of redemption set in the Ozarks in 1955 that has one leg that wants to boogie, and the other planted on a pew. Rita Sanders leaves her cheating husband and returns to her childhood home. She lands a job at a honky-tonk on the outskirts of a dry bible-belt village owned by a retired navy petty officer. Rita's religious mother disapproves and accuses her of driving her geese to a poor market. With the reappearance of her estranged husband, the prodigal daughter discovers there is more than one snake in the garden, as her husband and mother conspire against her for custody of her son. One reviewer described it as the Waltons on steroids.
