Seven years prior to the events of the film, Walker Baylor killed himself at the age of 24. His mother Darcy learns that Mark Wright stole her son's business plan and now operates a chain of Hot Dawg shops in New Orleans, even using a Southern folksy ad about getting a hot dog every Saturday with his mom, which is actually a childhood memory of Darcy and Walker. Darcy gets her old boyfriend Clayton to give her the gun used by her son to kill himself.
