Dans les années 1980, au cours d'une émission radiophonique, Jan Schlichtmann, brillant avocat spécialiste dans les procès civils, est apostrophé par Anne Anderson qui lui reproche de négliger une plainte déposée quelques mois plus tôt. Il la rencontre à Woburn, une bourgade du Massachusetts, et apprend que près de 30 enfants de la ville sont atteints de leucémie provoquée par deux sociétés qui déversent régulièrement des substances chimiques à proximité de puits d'eau potable. L'avocat décide de défendre 8 familles contre les toutes-puissantes sociétés industrielles.
