Two journalists, Natalie and Marc, who work for a French publication, are sent on location in Pennsylvania to cover the hot topic of hydro-fracking. They are told to investigate several suspicious deaths that are reportedly being covered up. They are also told to explore the possible collusion of the gas industry with local politicians and government agencies allegedly being paid off to stay silent about contamination of drinking water supplies and other hazards. The two “outsider” journalists are treated with mixed feelings and suspicion by the small community they have entered. On a committed mission to discover the truth in whatever way they can, they become involved in a tangled web of greed and corruption. Not only do they discover a severely fractured community, but also in the process they uncover the degree to which they themselves and the people around them are internally fractured.
