Epska zgodba in družinska drama spremlja ljudi, ki so iskali srečo in bogastvo v času naftne mrzlice v Kaliforniji na prelomu 20. stoletja. Kronološko niza osebne dogodke iz življenja Daniela Plainviewa. Pred gledalčevimi očmi se odvija Danielova prepričljiva in srhljiva preobrazba iz revnega garaškega iskalca srebra, ki sam skrbi za sina, v samoniklega naftnega mogotca, zaslepljenega od črnega zlata – v tolikšni meri, da v njem nihče, ki mu je blizu, kmalu ne prepozna več niti za trohico človeškega. Med tistimi, ki so hodili z njim ali mu stopili na pot, sta najtežje breme njegove razčlovečenosti nosila njegov gluhonemi sin G. W. ter mladi pridigar Eli Sunday. Slednji predstavlja drugo vrsto obsedenosti in poblaznelosti, ki danes razkraja svet še bolj kot kdajkoli – obsedenost od institucionalizirane vere in resničnega pohlepa, ki ga sprenevedavo prikriva. Ko taka človeka trčita v navzkrižju interesov ter nasprotju ideologij, bo poleg nafte tekla tudi kri.
