An explosion on the small family farm in Cle Elum, Washington sets off a series of horrific events which shatter the lives and cherished heritage of the Hastings Family. The backdrop of corporate farming and legislative corruption are pitted against a family’s hard work and a passionate dedication to their land. As Matt Hastings struggles to resist the biting demands of a corporate farmer, an unlikely braveheart by the name of Gage McClure takes the lead to help Matt shake off the powerful Dillon Russell agribusiness money machine … despite the looming, violent attacks being made against Gage’s beloved The Inn at the Pier, in Seattle.
