The Characters

 Patty

Patty

A 39-year old politician, now running for governor of the state of Montana, in the West of the USA.  As a small child, Patty had the unusual experience of being taken care of by a family of wolves in the wild.  Now, she's an ardent environmentalist.

 Betty

Betty

Patty's twin sister. Patty and Betty were separated in an accident 37 years ago. Neither knows of the other's existence.  Betty works as a secretary at the Unified Energy Company (UEC).

 Justin

Justin

A nasty man, the head of UEC.  He will do anything necessary to make a profit, knowing that profits for the company mean big raises for him.  He doesn't hesitate to use the people at UEC for his own purposes.

 The Big River Valley

The Big River Valley

Not really a character, but a place -- a beautiful, wild place that has never changed. Justin and his UEC want to build a dam on the Big River.  Patty and her fellow environmentalists want to prevent the dam from being built.
