As Melanie and Jake try to one-up the other in their marriage battle, Melanie reconnects with many of her childhood friends and acquaintances, all who have their own opinion of Melanie based on her leaving Pigeon Creek. So, it's not an in and out trip as Melanie had hoped. He still refuses to sign the divorce papers, seemingly just to make life difficult for her. Jake, a fishing guide, still lives in the same small, rural house where he and Melanie lived. As such, she heads back to Pigeon Creek for the first time in seven years to finalize the divorce before she can marry Andrew, and before the Hennings discover not only her true background but that she is already married.
Since she left Pigeon Creek and Jake seven years ago, Melanie has tried to get a divorce from Jake, signing divorce papers which he has refused to do. They got married solely because she was pregnant, she ultimately miscarrying. Melanie initially ignored that advice and married her childhood sweetheart, Jake Perry, fresh out of high school. Her mother, Pearl Smooter, encouraged Melanie to get out of Pigeon Creek at any cost to have a better life for herself. The truth about Melanie's upbringing is that she grew up poor Melanie Smooter in Pigeon Creek. The Hennings' foresee the White House in Andrew's future. She grew up in a privileged environment on Carmichael Plantation in Pigeon Creek, Alabama, which is at least what she wants her social circle to believe, that social circle including her work associates, and her fiancé, Andrew Hennings, a politician and son of the image conscious Mayor of New York City, Kate Hennings. Melanie Carmichael is a successful up and coming Manhattan fashion designer, seen as the one to watch in the industry.
