She comes home to mourn her father. She stays to uncover the shocking truth.
When college student Berry returns to her family’s small Southern California farm after her father’s sudden death, she believes she’s coming home to grieve and reassure her mother that she’ll soon be back for good to run the farm. She is eager to bring new life to the failing farm through modernization and sound financial management after receiving her degree in agricultural economics.
It doesn’t take long for Berry’s plans to collapse. Upon her arrival home, she is shocked to discover her mother just sold the farm to a foreign-owned agribusiness, Happy Sun Farm, which has been taking over all the small farms in the area. Her father had resisted pressure to sell his land to them while he was alive.
As she delves into the company’s campaign of coercing farm sales, Berry suspects they may have been responsible for her father’s death. She learns that Happy Sun Farm is far from a happy place. Their strange farming practice of removing healthy, productive crops, doesn’t make sense to her. The secrecy surrounding the farm leaves many questions unanswered, especially after unexplained deaths surface.
With help from law enforcement not forthcoming, Berry sets out to explore what she can, but soon finds her own life in danger. Not knowing whom she can trust, she uncovers a diabolical plan of mass proportions no one could have imagined.
