After a good friend and fellow EPA agent is killed while investigating some toxic dumping in Kentucky, Jack Taggart goes down to the small town where his friend was investigating, and does a little investigating himself. What he does know is that the dumping is being done by the Hanner company. Orin Hanner and his half-wit son Orin Jr are instilling a fear in this town so great, that no one will come forward to stop it. Jack is determined to bring Hanner down, and does everything in his power to do so.
