Widowed, broke, and adrift, farmer Fred Stern (David Strathairn) finds a new purpose in life when he learns that the psychotic matriarch of a sinister oil company is polluting his water. But as his crusade against the powers-that-be spills out of the courtroom and into his personal life, Fred must find a way to avoid the ruin of his farm, his family, and his dreams.
Inspired by bizarre, true events, "The Devil Has a Name" comedically pulls back the curtain on the culture of greed that poisons Corporate America, from sea to polluted sea.
