The quaint towns of Saugatuck and Douglas, nestled in western Michigan, harbor a combined population of approximately 1,000, nestled along the serene Kalamazoo River, often overlooked in cultural discussions.

The film delves into the unique culture of Saugatuck and Douglas, two small western Michigan villages with a significant, yet minority, gay population. Despite being surrounded by conservative and religious communities, the towns have achieved remarkable integration, with residents working together politically, economically, socially, and religiously. The documentary examines how this integration came to be, featuring interviews with residents from all walks of life, including farmers and mayors.
