Synopsis: In the small Midwestern town of Dewers, amidst the turmoil of the 1960s, the casual conversations of five men lead to public sex in the courthouse restroom. Their arrest for public indecency takes the town on a journey through good and evil that will alter it, as well as the five men and their families. Through it all the town confirms its perseverance of community and ability to survive.
Frieda and Clara May
on their home town, Dewers:
What you need to know about Dewers is that it doesn’t try to be any more than what it is: a conservative, God-fearing farming community. You’ll find straight roads, Victorian-style farmhouses with steep roofs, corncribs, fenced-in pastures, cattle, silos, red barns, and laundry hanging on clotheslines. In spring farmers are in the fields, and the smell of fresh dirt permeates the breezes. By early summer the land is green with corn, oats, wheat, soybeans, and clover. In late summer and fall, it's amazing how the land is transformed to shades of gold. We understand the meaning of a bountiful harvest.
