In a world facing the dystopian challenges of climate change, beaver ethologist Beavan Broderick is doing everything he can to protect the future, one pond at a time. When he meets an eccentric family secretly working on a miraculously strong, silky substance they join forces. Together they develop a materials technology that returns the dirigible to our skies and elevates the housing market literally, into the air, buoyed by aerostats. This motley group of academics, scientists, and artists unexpectedly find themselves members of a team tasked with a twenty-first-century solution to an existential threat we all face. This solution is critically dependent on Canada’s national animal: the beaver!
