"When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season at the family’s Upper Peninsula camp, Reuben Soady brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady, in the history of the Soady family, to have never bagged a buck — which makes him jinxed in the eyes of the community," according to a release.
"In a hunting story to beat all hunting stories, author and native Michigan playwright Jeff Daniels spins a hilarious tale of humor and heart as Reuben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book."
