When Anna Wall and her new husband travel to Brazil, a river cruise on the Amazon River turns into a strange and dangerous journey. As she delves into the mysteries of shamanic healing, Anna becomes aware of a metaphysical landscape that was formerly invisible to her. Back in Virginia, Anna sees with new eyes the destruction caused by mountain top removal.

When Big Coal and Big Government become aligned, what can the Appalachian people do to protect their homes and health?
