In 1986, a breeding colony of Common Murres on Devil's Slide Rock off the coast of San Francisco was devastated by an oil spill. Using innovative restoration techniques in a challenging location, dedicated scientists worked with local schools and government agencies to restore the colony - in spite of many land managers that said it could not be done. The film chronicles the decade of restoration efforts required to bring these birds back to their ancestral home.

"Examines the success of the Murre Restoration Project to restore the common murre population to its breeding colony on central California's Devil's Slide Rock after the 1986 Apex Houston oil spill in which 6300 of these birds were killed and the island was abandoned. A cooperative team from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish & Game, and NOAA, employing a "social attraction" technique, used decoys, mirrors, and sound to attract the birds back to the island they had once inhabited."
