The farce is set in Bigport, a quaint and quiet (but non-existent) tourist destination in Northwestern Montana. Bustling with visitors during the summer, its winter is peaceful as the locals enjoy the relative solitude of nature. But when it’s rumored that Homeland Security is investigating an expose’ on Bigport life written by an insider and the town appears to be sitting, quite literally, on a powder keg, the residents bring out the heavy artillery and respond in the only way they know how, by staging a parade. (No one is naked and nothing is real. This is fake news at its finest.)
