Desperate men chase their dreams and run from their demons in the North Dakota oil fields.
Chasing the American dream, thousands of workers flock to a North Dakota town where the oil business is booming.

Pastor Jay Reinke converts his church into a makeshift dorm and counseling center, allowing hundreds of men to stay despite the congregation's objections and neighbors' fears.
