Plot: A true story about a concerned housewife, Pat Melancon, who tries to block Shintech, a massive Japanese petrochemical conglomerate, from building a plant in her toxic township already known as "cancer alley". Pat and a few newly recruited, fledgling activitsts face the full force of Shintech's wealth and influence peddling, which has bought the cooperation of the government from the local level all the way up to the Governor's office.
Alternative Plot: Pat Melancon (Laura Innes) and Emelda West (Ruby Dee) work together to stop a corporation from building a petrochemical plant.
