The narrative follows a family-run oyster farm in California's Drakes Estero, established in the 1930s and later renamed The Drakes Bay Oyster Company. After the Point Reyes Wilderness Act designated the area for conservation, the farm's lease was threatened by the National Park Service's decision not to renew it past 2012. The local rancher, determined to preserve the farm's legacy, embarks on a legal battle that could reach the Supreme Court, highlighting themes of environmental conservation, community resilience, and the clash between nature and industry.
