Description: Down-on-his-luck rancher Teensy and his daughter Luann face the loss of their Nebraska ranch as they mourn the death of Luann's mother. When an amusement park is built in their small town, an invading culture fully severs the attachment to the land. Ghosts and seers, drugs and greed, the haves and have-nots all navigate the painful transition to the twenty-first-century in this gritty and somehow magical portrait of rural America.
