For over three hundred years the inhabitants of Muir, a small town in upstate New York, have passed through life with little outside interference. But when a gas boom hits the area in the middle of their small-town lives, they must decide whether this is the time to diversify and pave their own path or stay as they always have -- detached, dependent on each other and the land surrounding them.
