Deep in beautiful North Dakota lies the small hamlet of Leith, where the 24 inhabitants all get along. One day the village gets a new resident, notorious neo-Nazi Craig Cobb. He has a dubious plan: he buys land in the small village, wants to take over the administration and transform Leith into a community exclusively for white supremacists. But the locals are not pleased with his schemes and his extremely racist ideology.

Leading the protest against Cobb are mayor Ryan Schock, who runs a small ranch with his wife, alderman Lee Cook, who moved to the serene village after the murder of his daughter in Washington and Bobby Harper, the only African-American of the village.

The residents have one big problem: nothing Craig Cobb is doing is illegal. Legally, he is within his rights to buy land and live where he wants. And thanks to the United States’ "First Amendment" he is free to put up Nazi flags and express his racist ideas. The atmosphere in the village becomes grimmer by the day and the locals are increasingly desperate to stop Cobb.

The filmmakers show both parties and register the confrontations between Cobb and the villagers. The tension on how this impasse can be resolved is becoming more cutting. A poignant story that poses uncomfortable questions about the (boundaries of) freedom of speech and democracy. Who determines who is welcome in Leith?
