# **Synopsis:**

The year is 2020 and it seemed well for the residents of Burr Lake, Utah. Everyone lived in this little town all secluded and everyone knew each other on a first-name basis. The lake that gave the town its name shares water with the Great Salt Lake but it was divided by some erosion caused by construction from the government wanting to build a new power plant in the empty area west of the massive lake under the name of “Project Delta”. 

Five years after the town was fully built, it became a tourist spot mainly for the massive stacks at the power plant. However, there was a leakage in one of the stacks and the contaminates merged with the Burr Lake waters; causing it to contaminate the town’s water system. Residents who drank the water reported becoming more aggressive. 

Abby Stewart, a journalist for TRUTH goes into town finding it in ruin. Her task is to find out and report what caused the outbreak and what happened to her father who worked on Project Delta all those years ago.
