Northfork

“We are all angels. It is what we do with our wings that separates us.”

In 1955, a dam in the Montana mountains is about to drown the town of Northfork, and a boy burning with fever has started to believe he belongs to a band of lost angels looking for a way home. Walter O'Brien (James Woods) works on a six-man committee sent to move the last holdouts to higher ground, while Father Harlan (Nick Nolte) stays on to care for the sick orphan. Michael Polish gives the town a few days before the water arrives.
