In 1950's Charleston, no female social club is more exclusive than The Charleston Charm Society. In addition to its various annual philanthropic endeavors and social events, none is more important than the Charleston Debutante Ball. This year is a bit different since both of Harriet's daughters will be presented at the ball, a ball Harriet is responsible for planning. Everything seems to be on track until a famous starlet returns to town, debutante escorts can't be found, a Charm is sporting a black eye, and rehearsals for the Great Gatsby themed Charity Variety Show aren't going as planned. There's also about to be a mutiny since nouveau riche, Fay, has been inducted into the charms against the wishes of old money members like Edwina, who is convinced The Charms are "going to the dogs."
