| Abstract |
In an economically-depressed farm town, a large energy company, represented by Steve Butler (Matt Damon) offers landowners big bucks for the rights to frack the natural gas under their farms. However, Frank Yates (Hal Holbrook), the local high school science teacher, and Dustin Noble (John Krasinski), an eco-activist, rally citizens against the energy company.
