The people of Rutland, Montana sleep soundly at night knowing their town is protected by the 600 feet and 4.5 million tons of concrete that forms the Rankin Dam. Yet torrential rains and rising reservoirs are creating pressure which may rip through the dam and put the entire town in jeopardy.
After an on-site accident results in the death of an engineer, suspicions arise and the dam might not be structurally sound. No one is more sceptical than David Arthur Powell (Joe Lando), the original architect of Rankin Dam. Before the structure was finished, David was framed by the construction company president Jordan Walker (BRuce Boxleitner), fired from the job and exiled from town.
Upon his return to Rutland, David must act swiftly to warn the townspeople of the dangerous dam before it breaks. He needs to enlist the help to two people who trust him the least: City Councilwoman Natalie Powell (Michelle Greene) and 17-year-old architect prodigy Garth Powell (Matthew Powell) - the wife and son he left behind.
With less than three hours left before the dam crumbles, Natalie calls for an emergency evacuation of Rutland. She is stopped and is concerned more for his reputation with investors then the innocent lives of thousands.
