It's a location out in the middle of nowhere approx 25 miles from the closest small town. A group of 'misfits' settled there. Some are veterans, some are hippies, some are runaway teens. They provide their own security and town management (more or less). They built their own homes (if you can call them homes).

You can watch the trailer:

There is a writeup on it here that describes it well:
