Plot Synopsis

In this single-camera comedy series, a documentary crew sets out to explore the lives of residents in a small American town -- their dreams, their concerns -- and they stumble upon the midwestern town of Flatch, which is made up of many eccentric personalities. It's a place you want to visit and maybe even stay. If there was a decent motel. Which there is not. The documentary crew finds worthy subjects in cousins and best friends Kelly Mallet and Lloyd "Shrub" Mallet who let the documentary crew in on their lives and local current events. Joseph "Father Joe" Binghoffer is the local minister who also attempts to guide Kelly and Shrub. He moved to Flatch with his former girlfriend, Cheryl Peterson , who is the editor of the local newspaper, "The Flatch Patriot." Other Flatch residents include Mickey St. Jean, who relentlessly attempts to become Shrub's best friend; Kelly's frenemy, Nadine Garcia-Parney, who runs the Flatch Historical Society; and Mandy Matthews, a magnetic force of nature who lives life on her own terms.
