Frank and Annie move to Dixie City thinking it'll be a nice bucolic place in which to enjoy a quiet retirement. NOT When they and their friends, Ned and Kate, begin to have strange experiences at the creepy old Dixie Mall, try to get involved in restoring the Hangin' Judge's (haunted?) house, and stake out a bed and breakfast inn that is a plantation with a crematorium, it dawns on them that everything in Dixie City is just a wee bit weird. And thanks to the Village Idiot they also learn the true significance of being "from away." Therein lie the Dixie City tales.
