Botanist, Frank Harvey, leads a project for the Wagner Company to build a water pipeline and a hydrofarm to bring new life to the cracked, barren lakebeds that were the primary water supply for Austin, Texas. A biodome over the lake is erected to deter evaporation, but plans to electrify and seal the dome’s exterior forcibly separate Frank apart from his wife and six-year-old son. A decade later, Alex Harvey, now sixteen years old, hates the father who abandoned him and his mother to starvation, so Alex’s decides it’s time for a little revenge.
