Fifteen year old Mickey Gammon, evicted from his home by his half brother, becomes involved with the Settlement, a rural cooperative in Egypt, Maine, that is constantly under the watch of the media and authorities who have condemned the group as a radical cult, and it is not long before his life collides with a young girl whose mother is in jail on drug charges, and the group's charismatic leader Gordon St. Onge.
