What happens to the 705 residents of Crawford, Texas when George W. Bush moves to town? Months after he arrives, Bush declares his candidacy for President, using their town as the perfect set-piece to project a folksy image. Crawford explodes overnight. Droves of tourists buy t-shirts at their brand new stores; the high school band plays at the inauguration; their Baptist pastor calls it a miracle. But with the Iraq War and the arrival of 20,000 protesters in Crawford’s backyards, political conflict mounts in the town itself, pushing a progressive teacher and her student to the brink - and beyond. Soon, tourists stop coming; the stores are boarded up. But the human impact of political stagecraft is far more grave. Now, through the eyes of Crawford’s colorful, dynamic people, comes a unique reflection on the last seven years.
