Nine-year-old Lewellen (played by a 12 year old Dakota Fanning) is growing up in rural Alabama in the 1950s. It is a depressing life as Lewellen is poor and motherless. She lives with her Grammie (Piper Laurie) and has a strained relationship with her daddy (David Morse) who works a nearby farm. Lewellen’s only pleasure is playing with neighbor boy Buddy (Cody Hanford) and listening to Elvis. Lewellen’s favorite song is “Hounddog” which she will perform for anybody at the drop of a hat.
