Synopsis:

Lakenheath tells the story of a god-fearing military family from Oklahoma who move to the largest US air base in England. A good family of strong faith and ideals, they are happy to find the base is an American island, buffeted against the outside world. Yet it seems there is a wartime climate of fear and the family are troubled by scare stories, rebellious high school students and liberal teachers. However when the opportunity arises to leave the base and take on the Brits in a cheerleading competition they can't refuse.
