Escalofriante historia relatada en forma de falso documental. En ella, la pregunta "¿qué hubiera pasado?" es contestada a través de un presente alternativo en el que el Sur triunfó y la esclavitud es legal. El espectador obtiene una sorprendente visión de la cultura americana a través de la televisión, el cine, y los anuncios locales... muchos de ellos escalofriantemente cercanos a nuestra realidad. El documental producido por el ficticio British Broadcasting Service (BBS) cuenta la épica historia de la nación confederada a partir de la victoria en la batalla de Gettysburg y hasta la creación de un exuberante “imperio tropical” y el fatuo presente. Dos historiadores, Rupert Pate y una afrocanadiense nos llevan de viaje por la grandiosa historia de los Estados Confederados de América, comentando décadas de triunfos y tragedias, escándalos políticos y luchas raciales, de esfuerzos por preservar la esclavitud y los valores de preguerra en los tiempos modernos.

The inhabitants of a deteriorating section of 1968 Junction City, Kansas known as "Junk City" bemoan their existence and revel at the history of their neighborhood during its 1940's heydays when legendary jazz musicians regularly played its clubs. In 1968, the area has diminished to strip clubs and juke joints inhabited by Vietnam War draftees that pass through from nearby Fort Riley. Heads of the group include a wino who lost a leg in WWII, a taxi dispatcher, a saloon owner, and a crazed bag lady. The younger generation is represented by a young prostitute who is trying to get off the streets, but is forced to continue to work by a no-good boy friend and the need to feed her baby. Martin Sheen also appears as a white minister who prefers the people in the area over his own congregation.
