- Blue-collar families escape life to on the water in a seasonal trailer park. When their shabby Shangri-La is threatened by development, the residents of Inlet View face the inevitable, and reveal the secrets to a rich life.
- Every summer, working-class families enjoy waterfront living in a scrappy trailer park off the coast of Virginia. When the relentless march of capitalism threatens their shabby Shangri-La, the denizens of Inlet View face the inevitable, and reveal the secrets to a rich life.
- In a waterfront campground off the coast of Virginia, tenants live spitting distance apart in rows of rust-bitten RVs. With unpaved roads, questionable septic, and a feral cat colony, Inlet View is far from the Hamptons in many ways. The mostly blue-collar residents chuckle about paying modest rent for a million-dollar location, but what makes them the luckiest people in the world is more than just stunning sunsets.
Beneath a few trailer park stereotypes lies an unlikely utopia where anyone who makes it past the gate is welcome. There are no judgments. People take food to their neighbors. They look out for each other's kids. They share everything from power tools to simple pleasures. Loneliness and isolation are inconceivable.
Sadly, their tight-knit paradise has been sold, destined to become part of a corporate portfolio of luxury getaways for "nice" families. It was only a matter of time before developers caught up with Inlet View. Its assets read like an overwritten sales brochure - a spectacular spot on the tip of an island where dolphins swim just offshore. And yet, the real magic of the place is the people.
Over the decades, the campers and their trailers have grown deep roots. They brace for eviction and the loss of friendships that span generations. Inlet View is quite literally their last resort.
As the familiar narrative of displacement plays out once again, the proletariats hold tight to their final days in the sun. The more affluent crowd that takes their place will never be as wealthy.
