Nature’s unforgiving power

After the sudden death of her husband, Ellen McKenna is doing everything she can to keep her Texas farm afloat. Many of their neighbors in Cooke County have thrown in the towel and agreed to sell their farms to a local businessman, but despite similar pressure, Ellen refuses to let her dreams die.

On top of the usual hardships, a series of recent storms has left the region partly flooded, and as the heavy rain begins again, all the members of the family jump into action to protect their land and animals. Ellen’s oldest son discovers an injured dog―and the dog leads him to a man barely clinging to life. Then, Ellen’s younger kids go to check on a nearby neighbor and walk into a threat none of them saw coming.
