For this small farming community in upstate New York in the 1920s, the Jazz Age might as well be playing out on the moon. Around here, folks? concerns pretty much stay the same as one decade slides into another. Nothing important really changes. The cows still need milking. The Parmelee family curse has been in place for ages. Carrie?s been evil from the cradle. Red-haired women have never brought anything but trouble to this town. And there sure ain?t nothing new about what teenagers are getting up to in the woods.
