Paul Garret had been doing crack for 20 years. All three had poor prospects in this post-industrial town where gossip spread fast.

Throughout the process the film shines a light upon a part of America rarely seen in film or anywhere else and proves that far from medias spotlight there are great social experiments from Egalitarianism to Anarchy continuing to percolate and sometimes thrive.
