The narrative explores the complexities of rural Eastern Kentucky through the eyes of Alan Maimon, who approaches his reporting with the perspective of a foreign correspondent. Arriving in Hazard, he uncovers a community grappling with ecological ruin and a devastating opioid crisis, alongside deep-seated political corruption and intense religious loyalty. As he navigates the region's struggles, Maimon reveals how its challenges are emblematic of broader American issues, challenging preconceived notions about this often-misunderstood area.
