A 99-year-old black man recounts his life as an eater of strange objects in the Jim Crow South. Oddly, his eating talents coincided with major events of the Civil Rights movement. A successful lawyer learns lessons about himself and his history as he witnesses Hungry's final performance -- eating a car which he promised a woman he'd do if she would marry him. A charming magical story in the tradition of "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop" and "Big Fish".
