Ethan Bellweather, a disillusioned programmer, buys a dilapidated farm in the forgotten corner of the Ozark Mountains as an escape. He jokingly declares himself the 'King of Oakhaven' after a particularly strong batch of homebrew. The joke quickly spirals out of control when a ragtag group of survivalists, eccentric artisans, and even a family of surprisingly intelligent mountain lions start treating him like royalty. Ethan must navigate the challenges of unexpected leadership, manage his bizarre subjects, and uncover the secrets hidden within the ancient Oakhaven valley before his reign collapses under the weight of its own absurdity.
