Drifting towards the Crescent plot

The residents of the Mississippi Riverbanks between Keokuk and Mark Twain's hometown of Hannibal boast that life here with a penchant for hunting, fishing, drinking and motorcycling is a little rougher, but in a more casual way. The owner of a nightclub that is emphatically not a strip club knows how to keep men in line. This is an area where people still care about each other. This documentary weaves personal stories and references to the history and character of the region – hit by a major flood in 1993 – through the river landscape with its forests and bridges, trains, freight ships and factories. A shy pole dancer and her boyfriend are expecting their first child, a motorcyclist's bracelets are a reminder of a tragic accident, others recount anecdotes or talk about problems with vacancy and little work.
