經濟衰退時期,生命裡沒有太多選擇的美國人,前往北達科他州威利斯頓鎮,尋找油礦發掘後的工作機會。失業的外州人口,帶著美國夢,湧入保守的農作小鎮。藍奇牧師打開教會大門,收容每一個無家可歸的彪形大漢。然而,社區與教徒對於陌生人的猜忌日益升高。結局隱喻了美國社會所面臨的景況,以及最真實的內省批判。
In the tiny town of Williston, busloads of newcomers step into the sad reality of slim work prospects and nowhere to sleep. Over at Concordia Lutheran Church, Pastor Jay Reinke is delivering the migrants some dignity. Night after night, he converts his church into a makeshift dorm and counseling center. But as broken men arrive in droves, the congregants sling criticism, neighbors get suspicious, and the town threatens an ordinance to shut Reinke down. How much will Reinke sacrifice for his crusade of compassion?
