Leith, North Dakota, is a registered ghost town of 24 people. The town has a stark beauty with a prairie backdrop of wide-open sky and fields of wheat. In 2012, an outsider named Craig Cobb moved in and started buying up property. He accumulated 12 plots of land, some empty, some with houses in various states of disrepair. Turns out Cobb is also a notorious white supremacist who was plotting a takeover of the town government. As his behavior becomes more threatening, tensions soar and the residents desperately look for ways to expel their unwanted neighbor ... without violating his constitutional rights.
