Feuds erupt between once-friendly neighbors when an out-of-state power company starts a land grab in a rural Wisconsin community. Peg, a retired teacher, fights to save the land she loves – but it's hard to know who your friends are in a world where politics are more polarized than ever.

Before serving two years in prison for beating someone in the town that everyone disliked, he was pretty popular and happy. Can be prone to angry outbursts and impulsive behavior, especially when he drinks.

MIA: OFFER PENDING. Female, early 30s, Korean American. A curious, frenetic, and driven woman, Mia has recently moved to rural Wisconsin from Evanston, with her wife, Emma. High energy, ambitious, an activist, and a very talented graphic artist. She’s really into fermented foods, kombucha, meditation, and restoration projects. Able to balance humor and wit, she can be quite fun to be around. She has some unmanaged anxiety. Her high energy and drive can be overwhelming at times.
