Fracking for shale gas has spread from Australia and the United States to Lancashire, and this film follows the industry's promises against what communities on the ground actually experience. In Somerset, the company UK Methane has proposed drilling near sources of drinking water, and the film works through the numbers behind that plan: to deliver the volume of gas the company has promised its shareholders, it would need more than 2,000 wells in Somerset alone. That gap between corporate projection and physical reality runs through the rest of the film too, as it moves between drilling sites and interviews to track water contamination complaints, health concerns raised by residents near well pads, and the industry language used to describe both. Rather than staying in one country, the film treats fracking as a single global practice with local variations, comparing how the same technique plays out differently depending on regulation, geology, and who is nearby when something goes wrong. The throughline is simple: what companies tell investors and what they tell the public living next to the wells.
