A southern girl, Amie, is required to file a Hardship Affidavit for the US Customs and Immigrations Office "Proving Hardship..".. the hardship of having to pack up and leave her roach infested, two room apartment in the redneck haven of Middle Tennessee to live in a castle... in the French countryside, where she will be forced to eat croissants and pain au chocaolat for breakfast and drink hard cider for lunch, and cheese... apple tarts....(you get the picture) if her new French husband is kicked out of the country because he doesn't get his Green Card. So, she goes back to the beginning.... to tell the story of their love... to prove to INS that they should not have to endure separation either from each other, or Amie's home...the South.
