Life in Maine, (or anywhere else, for that matter), for all that makes it great, isn’t always easy. It’s a story about bad hair and good friends; a comedic meditation on living your dreams, whether that means staying in Maine, (or anywhere), to make it work or trying to set out and find your dream beyond the horizon. Sometimes we don’t perceive our own value to a community, a family, ourselves. Conversely, sometimes, as a community, we don’t value, as much as we should, those people and places that truly make a town viable.
