Jamie Bell stars as Dick, a young man who does not want to follow in his father's footsteps down into the mines. Through the encouragement of his caring housekeeper Clarabelle (Novella Nelson), Dick gets a job at the local market even though not being a miner brands one a loser in the town of Estherslope, West Virginia. After his father dies, Dick becomes friends with his co-worker Stevie (Mark Webber) who shows him a vintage gun that he owns. Though both are pacifists, the young men become obsessed with their guns going so far as giving them names and secretly shooting them down in an abandoned mine. Dick and Stevie recruit other misfits from the town and form a secret society that they call "The Dandies". These kids form a close bond not only with each other but with their "partners", their guns.
