A small town in the American rust belt, Oil City, Pennsylvania, is the setting for a story about acceptance and change. The town's industrial decline is mirrored in its residents' struggles to adapt to a changing world. The introduction of a gay couple's wedding announcement in the local paper sparks controversy and division among the community. As the couple faces backlash, they find allies in an unlikely place, including an evangelical pastor and a lesbian couple. Through their experiences, the film shows that creating lasting change in small towns requires courage and commitment to speak out and live openly.
