Eddy and Will LeBarron live in the same small Northwoods town of Moon Lake, but their worlds couldn't be farther apart. Eddy is a charming but impulsive real estate salesman, always looking for an easy opportunity; Will is a reclusive, socially awkward forest ranger, dedicated to preserving the wilderness and pristine land that surrounds the town. When the two brothers unexpectedly inherit a vast tract of this unspoiled wilderness, their differences erupt into a head-on clash. Eddy is adamant in his plan to clear and develop the forest, but Will vows to stop at nothing to protect the land he loves. Their high stakes battle grows volatile, threatening to destroy not only the last of Wisconsin's old-growth forests—but the LeBarron family and the entire Moon Lake community.
