Logline
A film about the incalculability that people of the industrial age prefer to suppress. But in wonderfully vibrant colors, the truth comes to light.
Robin works at a cannery in the seemingly peaceful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. One day at work, she notices what she believes to be an invasive insect that could threaten the livelihood of her entire town. Worried, she tries to convince those around her of the impending danger, but no one will take her (justifiable) warning seriously. Robin becomes increasingly alienated from her friends and family.
