Leigh Hunt

An enigmatic stranger arrives in a small town and creates a call-in TV show asking "What's wrong with Brewster?" Soon, he becomes a local celebrity and powerful arbiter of public opinion.

An enigmatic stranger comes to the small congenial town of Brewster, an almost too perfect example of idyllic America, and rents a room in the home of the ex-mayor. He begins a public access TV show called 'Our Town' that airs every Sunday night. Appearing in a tidy suit on a bare set, he faces the camera and simply asks, 'What's wrong with Brewster?' Week by week the calls start pouring in and the commentary gravitates from the general to the very specific. We soon realize that the mysterious TV host is up to so much more than we could have ever imagined. By his subtle manipulations, the tranquil town gradually disintegrates and it may be too late to restore Brewster to its placid veneer.
