Coastal Louisiana runs on two industries that need each other and poison each other: commercial fishing and offshore oil. The film follows a Cajun family's seafood business as they keep supporting deepwater drilling even after the 2010 BP spill fouled the waters they fish, and it traces the region's history back through Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to a Cajun culture built on generations of shrimping and oystering. Interviews move across the community rather than settling on one side: fishermen whose grounds were contaminated, and neighbors whose paychecks come from the same rigs and platforms that caused the damage. The film treats deepwater drilling's role in the world's oil supply as inseparable from its cost to the marshes and bayous next door, and it lets people hold both truths at once instead of forcing a verdict. What emerges is a portrait of a place where economic survival and environmental harm come from the identical source, and where nobody interviewed gets to pick just one.
