Summary:

Between 2011 and 2016, oil drilling in rural North Dakota reached its peak, setting off a modern-day gold rush in Trenton, North Dakota, population less than 1,000. With billions of dollars to be gained in an industry-friendly state with a "reasonable regulation" climate, small towns like Trenton became overwhelmed by an influx of workers, and countless acres of farmland were repurposed for industrial development. This film follows the rise and fall of the oil boom in North Dakota and paints a portrait of a rural American community in crisis.
