It's 2017 in Bisbee, Arizona, an old copper-mining community just miles from the Mexican border. The community's close-knit area prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bisbee's darkest hour: the notorious Bisbee Expulsion of 1917, throughout which 1,200 striking miners were violently extracted from their houses, eliminated to the middle of the desert, as well as delegated pass away. Townspeople face this terrible, misinterpreted past by presenting significant leisures of the escalating strike. These dramatized scenes are based upon subjective versions of the story as well as "guided," in a sense, by citizens with conflicting views of the event. Deeply personal segments torn from family history build toward a huge restaging of the deportation itself on the specific day of its 100th wedding anniversary.
