Dans une région rurale isolée de la Nouvelle-Écosse, les forgerons à la retraite John et Nancy Little mènent une vie paisible, partageant leur temps entre la culture potagère et la transformation de morceaux de ferraille en étonnantes sculptures sonores. Occasionnellement, la police locale a recours à leur savoir-faire particulier dans le cadre d’une démarche visant à protéger les vies des Canadiens. Baignant dans une atmosphère de roman d’espionnage, Forge fatale dépeint deux citoyens ordinaires comme des héros nationaux.
