"First they got mad ... then they got even." Realizing that they can longer afford to retire, a rag-tag band of unemployed baby boomers decides to fight back. Moving north of the city to a dilapidated lakeside resort, nestled among the rocks and pines of pristine Lake Muskeggie, the boomers establish a commune called 'Graehares.' When they begin flooding the town with their bizarre handicrafts - in full view of the multi-million dollar vacation homes of their horrified former bosses and colleagues - all hell breaks loose. A grizzled war correspondent, sidelined for the summer with a broken leg, inadvertently ends up at the old resort, too. As he begins to observe and secretly document this off-the-wall fight for survival, he discovers as much about life, love and the tenacity of the human spirit as he could on any frontline battlefield.
