As Jean grows up, she becomes increasingly aware of the beauty and power of the natural world around her. She spends her days exploring the forests and mountains, learning about the plants and animals that call them home, and developing a deep love and respect for the land. But Jean's idyllic childhood is threatened when a group of wealthy investors arrive in town with plans to clear-cut the forests and build a massive dam. As the community becomes divided over the issue, Jean must decide where her loyalties lie and fight to protect the land she loves.
