Young environmentalist and wild swimmer, Seville Campbell, swims in rivers, lakes, and the sea to control her anxiety about the environment. While studying pollution in Russia, a chance encounter alerts her to the possibility of a British company manufacturing chemical weapons. She joins the community of Russian wild swimmers when she undertakes a perilous journey to the bleak, polluted Siberian closed city of Norilsk. What she learns there puts her in direct conflict with her billionaire businessman father, Ross Campbell, whose smiling exterior conceals a ruthless determination to buy power at any cost.

Can Seville expose the polluters or will her powerful father prevent her?
