    This simple vérité film takes viewers on a journey to the backwoods of Southern Georgia. In the sleepy town of Waycross lives a community of people who live quiet, happy lives. Colby and his friends are largely apathetic towards the ways of the world. The kids ride on four wheelers, hunt raccoons, and swap stories by firelight until dawn in the ‘shanny’ next to grandmas house. The kids are never far from home and live, like their grandfathers before them, out in the sticks with traditions routed in nature the forefront of their existences.
