Deep beneath the rippling surface of Hampshire's historic chalk streams, a fragile peace is about to shatter.
For generations, the crystal-clear waters flowing into the River Itchen have been a sanctuary. Along the lush banks, wild creatures raise their broods, kingfishers dive for minnows, and life moves in perfect harmony with the seasons. Above, anglers cast into the shallows and families feed the wildfowl. But the peace is violently broken when a hidden pipe begins to spew a creeping, toxic grey sludge into the heart of the habitat. As the creeping poison chokes the currents, the river creatures face their greatest trial.
Unable to speak to the humans on the bank or cry out for help the river's wild inhabitants are entirely on their own. Now, a brave band of river dwellers must unite. Using every ounce of cunning and courage, they launch a desperate mission to fight the toxic tide. They don't need to win the war alone; they just need to survive long enough for man to finally look and act.
