In 1984, Jack Gladney is a professor of "Hitler studies" at The-College-on-the-Hill in Ohio, married to Babette and struggling with his own mortality as he confronts the consequences of an environmental disaster near their home. A truck carrying toxic chemicals collides with a train, releasing a cloud of waste that forces a massive evacuation and a traffic jam on the highway, setting off a chain of events that exposes Jack's biggest fear - the unknown. As they navigate this crisis, Jack and his family are forced to confront their own dysfunctional dynamics and the darker corners of human nature, leading to a surreal and unsettling exploration of the fragility of life and the power of love to redeem us from our deepest fears.
