Aaron Henkin teams up with musician Caleb Stine, and they head west on Maryland’s blue highways for an exploration of modern Americana… Along the way, they meet people from all walks of life and talk with them about the country’s past and its future. Aaron and Caleb visit a roadside produce stand, a snowball shop, a toy train store, a carpentry business, a diner, a custom airbrush clothing boutique, and a little league baseball game… They kick back for some music and conversation at a KOA camp site. They survive a rainy morning and make it out to Cumberland, Maryland. They meet an inspired guy there named Rich. And he helps them wind their way to an impromptu bluegrass music hoe-down in a local basement… all in a span of 48 hours and 150 miles.
