Dexter and Lewellyn grew up together in a small-town called Jasper (The Best Place in America to Raise a Family) and dated each other in high school. She was a state swimming champion, and he was a football player. When she went away to college to become a teacher, he stayed in town and worked at the local factory. At the beginning of the play, Lewellyn has returned home to help her mom take care of her dad and is considering taking a teaching job at the local school. Dexter still loves Lewellyn, but he has been involved with Maggie, who works at the local MacDonalds and who has been chasing him since high school. Lewellyn is less interested in rekindling her high-school romance, because she has met Chris, the videographer from New York City who is making a safety training video for the factory. Chris, without realizing what Lewellyn’s relationship is to Dexter, casts him in his video. Dexter is really good and picks up on video production very quickly. Encouraged by Chris, he starts thinking about taking college classes at the local community college. When Maggie gets pregnant, Dexter breaks up with her because she won’t get an abortion. Believing that he can win back Lewellyn because Chris is going back to the City at the end of the summer, Dexter pursues Lewellyn. She must decide whether to leave her hometown or redefine her past to have the future that she wants.

The play takes place in 2008 on Daniel Hale’s dairy farm near the Catskills along the Delaware River and by a front-lawn memorial for his son Marcellus, who was killed in Iraq. On Memorial Day, as his family and friends gather to remember his son, Daniel lets his wife know he’s going to lease the mineral rights of his 600-acre dairy farm to a gas company. The farm is too expensive to operate and more work than he can handle. Moreover he wants to remake the farm the way his son would have wanted, and be released from the guilt he feels for driving his son away from home. His wife, daughter, and son-in-law want to keep the farm going in memory of Marc, and they confront him and the landman, who offers a very favorable lease. The landman, who knew Marc in the Army, promised to take care of his father and mother if anything happened to him, but realizes that by leasing the natural gas rights, he will destroy his friend’s family. In the middle of the night, angry that his friend has given him a task that seems impossible, and knowing that the barn is falling down and can’t be rebuilt without the money from the lease or fire insurance, he sets the barn on fire. Daniel, awakened after drinking heavily is convinced that Marc has returned and set the fire and imagines that he sees and hears Marc in the flames. He is taken to the hospital with a stroke. In the epilogue, at the family memorial for Daniel, his family and friends remember what made the farm important to him as a young farmer and how he loved the land and cultivated it for its own sake as his son would have wanted him to.
