Based on Stay Away, Joe by Dan Cushman

On the edge of a Montana reservation, the bustle of Glenda’s saloon collides with small-town pride when a charismatic local returns and old sparks fly. As civic boosters, family members, and reservation neighbors jostle for advantage, flirtations mushroom into rivalries and reconciliations. Comic schemes, barroom showpieces, and frontier braggadocio drive the action to a high-spirited finale where lovers pair off, tempers cool, and the town’s swagger gives way to celebration.
