In the spring of 1978, reporter Mike Brown begins publishing a series of articles in the Niagara Gazette about potentially harmful chemicals leaking into the soil and water in Love Canal, a neighborhood built around what had been a dumping ground for the Hooker Chemical company.

When government officials fail to act, Gibbs helps form a group of unlikely activists set on cleaning up their neighborhood.
