A mining company’s plans threaten a small town, prompting a teacher and her neighbours to attempt an extraordinary solution: declaring independence. The new republic soon discovers that running a country is no escape from the complications of private life. Police officer AJ Johnson is involved with Alexis, the former mayor’s wife, creating a recurring romantic conflict inside the community’s struggle over loyalty and responsibility. Their affair is a meaningful ensemble storyline in the show’s single season. It is separate from the younger characters’ relationships and should not be expanded into a claim that every episode is romance-focused.
