In the midst of a struggling U.S. economy, the oil business in a small North Dakota town is booming. Thousands of desperate people flock there in search of work. Pastor Jay Reinke is under fire from his community for allowing these “overnighters” to stay for a night, a week or sometimes longer in his church. When the town learns that he is housing men with criminal records, controversy peaks and nothing can stop things from spiraling out of control. Winner of the Special Jury Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. (2K DCP presentation)
