Lois Gibbs never expected to be living the American Dream at 24 years of age, able to afford to live in a home in the seemingly perfect suburb of Love Canal, Niagara Falls. Still, life isn't going so great, her kids and neighbors are falling ill and she has no idea why, until she learns of the sinister secret lurking underground, a cover-up from a chemical factory that buried several tonnes of hazardous waste underground there during the 1940's. After discovering she's living right on top of a toxic waste dump, Lois attempts to stand up for the rights of the citizens of Love Canal, but finds it difficult to get anyone to listen.
