Synopsis

Arlo Hatch, a young attorney in a white-shoe New York law firm, is facing an identity crisis: A lucrative partnership is dangling within grasp, and he’s fallen for a beautiful, New York-centric philanthropist, but he feels he’s wasting his life. He’s just shuffling money around from one corporation to another, and he’s sick of his own clients—a corrupt pharma company pushing risky boner pills, a media baron catering to the lunatic fringe, and a sketchy oligarch targeted by Russian agents after he absconded with $8 billion.

Arlo quits to return to his roots in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where he plans to take over his parents’ farm and practice a little law on the side. Meanwhile, Arlo is unaware that the oligarch wants him killed. He also doesn’t know that his lover’s gold-digging stepmother, Maggie, wants his farm for her get-rich-off-old-folks scheme and is rounding up neo-nazi survivalists to run Arlo off his land. With his reluctantly transplanted lover and two friends—jumbo-sized Kostya, and Mikey, his micro-dosing sidekick—Arlo opens a B&B, but when the survivalists kidnap a progressive gubernatorial candidate, Arlo’s back-to-the-garden quest begins to crumble…
