“Tucked away in the vast, quiet stretches of South Florida, Miracle Village stands out for reasons that make you blink twice. Built in the 1960s for people who worked on sugar cane fields, it now houses a population you won’t find gathered anywhere else. Florida’s hardline laws push people convicted of sexual offenses to the margins, and these margins lead straight to Miracle Village. It’s a place where they’re allowed to exist, one of the very few places that’ll have them. Here’s where it gets sticky, though. The town offers a shot at redemption, but at what cost? Some folks think cramming everyone with the same past into one place is a ticking time bomb. But life there? It’s quiet. Almost too quiet. The village’s isolation serves two purposes: keeping the residents out of sight and giving them some peace, a sanctuary of sorts. It’s eerie and leery.”
