With wit, warmth, and remarkable insight, Taylor tracks the disillusionments and epiphanies of young punks living on the outskirts of Gainesville, FL. The home they share is a crumbling, one-story shack that contains their debauchery, affairs, theorizing, and eventual fiery transcendence. All of existence seems to pack itself within the walls of their hovel (except when it doesn't) as Taylor explores the boundaries (if there are any) between religion and politics, faith and fanaticism, and what happens when those boundaries break down. Taylor also produces a cultural portrait of late-90s America, of our pre-millennial anxiety, of our vague sense that the world would soon change forever.
