Love triangle unfolds in "Big Eden"

Big Eden is a tiny town tucked away in the timberland of northwestern Montana, where cowboys lounge on the porch of the general store to pass the time away, and keep their eyes on things. It's been years since Henry Hart (Arye Gross) was in Big Eden. Now a successful New York artist, he returns to care for his ailing grandfather, Sam (George Coe) who raised him. 

Henry soon finds he must come to terms with his relationship to Dean Stewart (Tim DeKay), his best friend from high school, and the object of his unrequited love. Henry's feelings for Dean, which caused him to flee Big Eden nearly twenty years ago, seem to have only grown stronger over the intervening years. At the same time, Henry's reappearance sparks a transformation in Pike Dexter (Eric Schweig), the shy unassuming Native American owner of the town's general store. 

As this unspoken triangle unfolds under the scrutiny of Big Eden's community, nearly everyone in town develops a stake in its outcome. When tragedy strikes and Henry chooses to leave once again…
