A river called Long Man has coursed through East Tennessee from time immemorial, but the Tennessee Valley Authority plans to dam the river and flood the town of Yuneetah for the sake of progress.

As the deadline looms, a storm rages, a drifter is determined to save his hometown... and Annie's young daughter Gracie is nowhere to be found.
