Robert Lee Sprague proudly flies the Confederate flag outside his rented duplex on the outskirts of Platte City. Robert is a loving family man, supporting his wife Alyx through her 9-5 job, and helping her daughter Kaylie after school. Named after Robert E. Lee, the Confederate General, he shares with his namesake a longing for independence and a defiance of unwanted authority—a world away from the ordered, standardised modern-day suburbia in which he lives. On Thursday nights he goes to the pub with the White Boys, a brotherhood which he founded on the values of loyalty, integrity and respect. Robert envisions that one day he’ll own a house among the county cornfields with his wife, children and Toby Keith, a Redbone Coonhound.
