When a convoy of seniors is coming—from the town you love to hate—to take over your town hall, what do you do?

Well, if you are the people of Port Promise, you declare the area around the building a licensed patio and tell everyone: Come on down and party!

In the summer of 2004, when Hetty serves a mildly hallucinogenic tea during a monthly meeting at the Sloburg Senior Centre, the members come up with a nutso plan to take over the town hall in neighbouring Port Promise. Bored with their surroundings, they think their ballsy move will get them a better meeting place and end the debate about which town is better.

But it’s a no brainer the people of Promise will defend their beloved building. And so, they immediately erect a line of defensive beer tents around their town hall.

Keeping it weird in Port Promise is de rigueur, so it is not long after the invading seniors from Sloburg arrive and the two sides are getting down and funny.

During an evening of competitive performances, the gloves come off as the night turns into a joyful tit-for-tat showdown about which town is better.

Ride along with small-town gonzo photojournalist Layton Plymouth and his freedom-loving sidekick TuTu as they cover this story of a lifetime when the two towns that love to hate each other, show their party moves.

Experience the passion when a stylish Sloburg widow with a shady past, Francesca Dulce, and Hee Haw McGibbon, a blue-collar Port Promise heart throb, become the ambassadors of love and lead this story to its stunning climax.

For 25 years, photojournalist Ted Amsden covered the events in two neighbouring towns. A resident and Poet Laureate in one, he partied in the other, always believing the two communities members of the same family. But as is often the case with competitive siblings, he found their quirks and charm worthy of much laughter which is why he wrote this humorous tale of quixotic conquest.
