About
An unusual American family, on the run arrive to farm the land in England without success. They also fail to integrate. An english youth, an outsider himself, visits his aunt in the nearby village. Over a few days his life unravels and he finds himself alone in the woods, struggling to stay alive. In the crossfire of antagonism between the outreaching Americans and the insular English, his naivety moves from fear to hatred and then sympathy for the hillbilly cause. The animosity between locals and outsiders ignites. The church, MI5, the Sheriff's department, the media, village vigilantes, to name but a few, get hopelessly involved.
