The Kingdom of Hatch

Arlo Hatch, a young attorney in a white-shoe New York law firm, is facing an identity crisis: A lucrative partnership is dangling within grasp, and he's fallen for a beautiful, New York-centric philanthropist, but he feels he's wasting his life. He's just shuffling money around from one corporation to another, and he's sick of his own clients-a corrupt pharma company pushing risky boner pills, a media baron catering to the lunatic fringe, and a sketchy oligarch targeted by Russian agents after he absconded with $8 billion. Arlo quits to return to his roots in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where he plans to take over his parents' farm and practice a little law on the side. Meanwhile, Arlo is unaware that the oligarch wants him killed. He also doesn't know that his lover's gold-digging stepmother, Maggie, wants his farm for her get-rich-off-old-folks scheme and is rounding up neo-nazi survivalists to run Arlo off his land. With his reluctantly transplanted lover and two friends-jumbo-sized Kostya, and Mikey, his micro-dosing sidekick-Arlo opens a B&B, but when the survivalists kidnap a progressive gubernatorial candidate, Arlo's back-to-the-garden quest begins to crumble...
