Employees of GLOBAL, Steve Butler (played by Matt Damon) and Sue Thomason (played by Frances McDormand), are dispatched to a small town that relies on agriculture but has rich natural gas resources, attempting to persuade the local residents to collaborate with GLOBAL to extract gas, which would also revitalize the local economy. Steve initially thinks this will be a straightforward task, but faces opposition from Frank (played by Hal Holbrook), a science teacher at the local high school, who proposes a vote among the townspeople to decide whether to begin gas extraction. The sudden appearance of Dustin Noble (played by John Krasinski), a young man from the environmental organization "Athena," who cites the destruction of his hometown due to oil extraction, further intensifies the local resistance to gas drilling. A woman named Alice (played by Rosemarie DeWitt), whom Steve has developed feelings for, also seems to lose trust in him. Will Steve be able to successfully complete the company's mission?
