1920s. Eastport Maine. Hydroelectric engineer Dexter P. Cooper has an epiphany. He can build a million-megawatt dam across Passamaquoddy Bay, bringing prosperity to an otherwise strapped region. The Bay is approved by Canada and the United States. What prevented it from going forward? Plan B. A dam within the U.S. boundaries. What difficulties did it encounter. Plan C. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers takes over. Total SNAFU. What did the Army do to botch this job? Was the dam ever built? Or was Dexter's life, and that of his wife Gertie, all for naught?
