Henry Hart, a New York artist, returns to his childhood home in Montana where the Native American owner of the town's general store is as surprised as anyone to find that he is falling love with Henry.

Henry (Arye Gross) lives in New York where he's preparing for an important gallery exhibit of his paintings. When he gets a call from Grace (Louise Fletcher) saying that his beloved grandfather Sam (George Coe) has had a stroke, Henry decides to miss his own opening and immediately return to Big Eden to look after Sam. Back in his hometown after 20 years he is reunited with Dean (Tim DeKay), his high school sweetheart, who has since married and divorced and is now raising two boys. While Henry is busy wondering whether his feelings for Dean will ever be reciprocated, he fails to notice that Pike (Eric Schwieg), the Native American man who runs the small town's store, is even shyer around him than around anyone else. Henry has never told his grandfather that he's gay, and they both remain in the dark about who is cooking magnificent meals for them, but everybody else in town quickly figures out what's going on. This heartwarming film contrasts stereotypes of small town busybodies with a poignant portrayal of people for whom love is elusive, highlighted by a delightful soundtrack filled with all-too-appropriate country western songs.

Benjamin (no last name) was the lead singer of Smoke, a band based in the Atlanta neighborhood known as Cabbagetown. The band (composed of cello, trumpet, drums, banjo, and electric guitar) played a wild Southern mix of country, blues, jazz, and punk. Benjamin was a singer whose drag-queen background and visceral approach to life and music both cemented the band's fame and guaranteed its limits. While Smoke was frequently cited as one of Atlanta's best bands, Benjamin's extraordinary persona, his utterly uncompromising performances, and his HIV-positive status created a mixture too volatile for the mainstream and the record industryThe film is a portrait of an extraordinary individual, band, and neighborhood that raises complicated and intriguing questions: How does a poor musician with AIDS balance his illness and renegade lifestyle with the need to create? What's the sound of queer Southern blues? How do changing landscapes affect the creative lives of people within them?
