In the foothills of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains a volunteer rescue squad must contend not only with the stressful situations of their work but also the evil corruption of the County leadership. While removing friends and family from the wreckage of automobile accidents they stumble into a money-laundering scheme involving the Gambino crime family. As in real life, this tale is a mixture of humor and tragedy. Ultimately there is a violent resolution but then, "violence is as American as apple pie."
