When residents of a remote Siberian coal mining city discover that an abandoned mine has caught fire underground, pushing toxic gas into their homes, they turn to homemaker-turned-journalist Natalia Zubkova for help. But after her news coverage of the coal fire goes viral, the government launches a massive effort to cover up the truth. In the shadow of an increasingly authoritarian government, Natalia embarks on a dangerous quest to reveal the full extent of the environmental catastrophe unfolding in her midst.
