When Nova ultimately wins, Tinsley unleashes a drunken tirade and threatens to kill her in a rant that one of Tinsley’s best friends records on her phone. She’s also the target of Tinsley McArthur’s vitriol, as the title of queen has been in Tinsley’s White family for generations. Nova Albright is gorgeous, charitable, and a shoo-in for homecoming queen. Social commentary set against the backdrop of the murder of a Mississippi town’s first Black homecoming queen.
