[edit] Plot

A clean cut drifter ends up in a small town called Brewster. Getting wind of the local public access television station, the man decides to host his own show called What's Wrong With Brewster? which becomes a focal point for town citizens to call in and voice their problems anonymously. However, things start to get ugly and tensions rise for the show, which begins to elevate the man's signature catchphrase "What's wrong with Brewster?" into an entirely new subject for the people of Brewster, when the town becomes embroiled in a mess its created, driven by a man whose intentions might be far more sinister than he appears to be.
