When the barking of their dog leads to an eviction notice to leave their tiny apartment in Los Angeles, John and Molly make a bold decision. They abandon the city for a life in the countryside, aspiring to build the most diverse farm of its kind. However, the land they have chosen is the least appropriate, as it is utterly depleted of nutrients and is suffering from a brutal drought. The film chronicles eight years of daunting work, following the two stubborn dreamers who endeavor to create their own utopia.
