A universal and timely story about the relationship between the health effects that the petrochemical industry has on its workers and the community that is dependant on the jobs it creates for its survival. In the factory town of Sarnia Ontario - the landscape is a bright sprawl of petrochemical plants, squatted like crushed space stations just meters away from homes, schoolyards and boarded storefronts - one finds a microcosm of the 21st century. Following the lives of a diverse medley of blue-collar characters - tattooed men serving fries, basement musicians, boilermakers, volunteer firemen, heartbroken widows and an optimistic mayor - to reveal the dramas and contradictions of an industrial town out of sync with a post-industrial world.
