Filmmaker Abby Ellis

An environmental nuclear bomb looms in Utah. Two intrepid scientists and a political insider race the clock to save their home from an unprecedented catastrophe.

As water levels of Great Salt Lake plummet, toxic dust storms from the exposed lakebed now endanger millions living along the Wasatch Front, while the lake's unique ecosystem and home to billions of migratory birds and other life, teeters on the edge of collapse.
