Synopsis

In a small town dime store in West Texas, the disciples of James Dean gather for their twentieth reunion. Now middle-aged women, they were teenagers when Dean filmed "Giant" two decades ago in nearby Marfa. One of them, an extra in the film, has a child whom she says was conceived by Dean on the set; the child is the Jimmy Dean of the title. The ladies' reminiscences mingle with flash backs to their youth; then the arrival of a stunning and momentarily unrecognized woman sets off a series of confrontations that upset their self-deceptions and expose their well-hidden disappointments.
