In addition to discovering rare treasures, Sebak meets some unique fellow travelers, who share their perspective and love for this so very American passion.

The "Flea Market" is capitalism mixed with craziness. Starring amazing old stuff, great salespeople, the ancient tradition of the open-air market, and the possibility of bargains, the flea market unites shoppers across the nation.

This documentary is a celebration of unusual and diverse peoples with a common passion and enticing things to be found in parking lots, fairgrounds, drive-ins, on sidewalks, and wherever a sign says "Flea Market."
