Twentysomething J. and two of his close friends are in the process of realizing their utopian dream: turning an abandoned cathedral into a grant-powered, environmentally sustainable art space. Newcomers to the post-industrial frontier where they found this chapel, they have been carried here by progressive beliefs that have since left them in a muddled quandary to question the validity of their presence. But there is work to do every day. Work to realize the dream they might still have.

Unemployed college graduates Zach and Rob find themselves adrift in the wake of their education's real-world uselessness, looking for immediate gratifications wherever possible. When a cross-country call to adventure comes in the form of a 10,000 dollar-bounty on a mysterious package delivery, the two men engage in a gonzo road-trip to find meaning, adulthood and/or America itself. Fresh Starts 4 Stale People, a film about friendship, responsibility and the pop-culture mind-fuck.
