The Last Barn Dance is a story about farming, fragility, and a fight to save the family business. Farmer Randy Lewis knows that losing his dairy business would mean losing his livelihood - his farm is limping along through an economy that has decimated most other family farms in North Carolina - but Randy is most worried about losing his way of life and ending a family heritage that has hosted nearly 50 years worth of barn dances. The farm is fragile, the band is old, the barn is beaten, and Randy, with no kids of his own and little faith the younger generation will pick up the pieces, is trying to save the dance.
