Documentary about three young people, each a member of a fringe religious community, who have separated themselves from mainstream America in order to live immersed in their faiths. Set against depressed but quintessentially American landscapes – the former revivalist district of upstate New York, old mining country in the mountains of northern California, and the stark badlands of South Dakota – the film interlaces three very intimate, apolitical portraits of young individuals trying to lead more extraordinary, mystical lives.

This production is a light hearted comedy. The protagonist is an esteemed cartoonist that works at a news firm. The protagonist undergoes a difficult situation and emerges partly wounded. Following this experience he insists on going back to work but something about him has changed – he lets go of some of his upstanding principles to become “respectable less one quarter”
