Description

The old growth forest is threatened with extinction by ruthless logging practices, and, as the the west coast of Vancouver Island witnesses an impassioned defense of the environment, the lives of four very different people are thrown together:  a Toronto school teacher, steadfast in her determination to contribute meaningfully to the cause;  a business executive in early retirement, despondent over the recent death of his wife, and looking for some purpose in life; the president of the Canadian subsidiary of one of the world's largest forest products companies, the chief executive officer of which is his father; and a First Nations band's hereditary chief dedicated to gaining recognition of coastal native tribes' rights to their land and the preservation of its forests and streams and wildlife. 

 Protest movements escalate, violence erupts, but it will take a miracle to end government rulings favoring the logging industry, incarcerating protesters and violating aboriginal rights.  And which of us, after all, believes in miracles?
