The townspeople are torn about the proposed plans for the land. Some are hesitant, knowing that an influx of tourists could irreparably change the character of the town. Others see the potential for economic growth and are willing to compromise their values for the sake of development. In the end, Neil must face the consequences of his actions and decide whether he has made the right choice.

The people of McCarthy face a difficult decision: will they take the easy way out, or will they fight to preserve their way of life?
