Every scene builds to a stunning climax, as betrayals and counter-betrayals blaze into a crescendo of frustration and defeat.

Although the bitter cold hasn't affected this area, Oregon, like other Northwestern states, is facing a weather crisis: a lack of rain. A state that is renowned for rain and lush green forests, a state that warns motorists of dry spots in the road, and bicycle riders not to fall off because they might drown, is facing drought.
