What do you think of this short synopsis of a story that I am writing?

Question

Opaltown, Nebraska was the type of town where the cemetray had more residents than the city itself. Everyone who was anyone knew everyone and nobody had any secrets that they could hide from the rest of the cities population. Even though Opaltown seemed like such a tighly knit community the truth was that noone trusted the person that they called their neighbor and this lack of trust had existed since before any living person could remember. This lack of trust had existed since the town caved in on itself during the late 19th century.
