Détestes-tu la ville, avec sa fumée, son smog et sa destruction? Eh bien, il en va en ainsi de Daniel McGowan, dont ses convictions l'ont conduit à l'activisme environnemental où ses actions sont passées de la désobéissance civile à l'action directe contre les entreprises forestières destructives et exploitatives, des fermes de cheval, et des chalets de ski, chacun menaçant le bien-être du monde naturel. Ce film suit Daniel après son arrestation pour son implication avec le Earth Liberation Front et offre un regard perspicace sur l'un des groupes militants les plus importants des 20 dernières années.
