Colleen and Rich Gundersen are raising their young son on the rocky coast of California. It's 1977, and life in this logging town is not what it used to be. For generations, the community has lived and breathed the forest; now that way of life is threatened.
Colleen is a midwife. Rich is a logger. He climbs trees hundreds of feet high, a dangerous job that got his father and grandfather killed. Colleen and Rich want a better life for themselves and their son. But when Rich secretly spends his life savings to purchase a plot of ancient sequoias, and Colleen, mourning her recently terminated pregnancy and desperate for a second child, opposes the logging company's use of herbicides, which she believes are responsible for numerous miscarriages, the Gundersens find themselves on opposite sides of an emerging conflict. As tensions rise in the town, the very thing they are trying to protect is threatened: their family.
