little chenier: A Cajun Story

LITTLE CHENIER is a Cajun story. Living on a houseboat in the bayou, Beaux Dupuis and his mentally handicapped brother Pemon try to make ends meet at their bait shop. The two live a simple life until Pemon is accused of a crime in town and Beaux must protect his brother against all odds. The story layers as the plot unfolds: an undying fascination with a mother the two brothers haven't seen in twenty years; an alcoholic father whose disdain for his own sons is unyielding; and a bitter deputy married to Beaux's one great love.
