Description:
In a year of record profits, workers at the Hormel meatpacking plant in Austin, Minnesota, are asked to accept significant pay cuts. The local labor union responds with a strike, fighting for what they consider fair wages. As the strike continues and strikers face financial hardship, relationships fracture – friendships dissolve, families are torn apart, and the town's future hangs in the balance.
