...responsible for her mysterious and fatal car crash, eventually confronting high profile 60s record producer Terry Valentine (Peter Fonda).

A gentle diva, based on Flint's own Betty Carter, shows Bud that a family exists whenever folks decide to stick together. Kids will take to Bud's hilarious advice for "becoming a better liar." But be warned: they...
