Transitioning from a bustling metropolis, the once hectic city is now a ghost town, with abandoned homes and businesses lining the streets. The water, which was once a source of life, has tragically become a deadly poison, tainted with lead. Caught in the crossfire of this crisis, the residents of Flint, Michigan find themselves as helpless victims. They are forced to depend on bottled water for their daily needs, with the majority living in poverty. The societal challenge here is not just the government's negligence, but also the lack of resources to effectively stop the crisis. During this chaos, an average young man named Demonte is confronted with the daunting challenge of providing safe water for his family. The city's water crisis impacts Demonte on multiple levels - both emotionally and logically. He is constantly plagued by worries about his close family's health and is deeply upset by the lack of help from the authorities. The suspense and tension build as Demonte initiates a campaign to bring attention to the Flint's water crisis. The pivotal moment for Demonte occurs when his mother falls ill due to lead poisoning.
