About the film

In the winter of 1970, a cantankerous, small-town plumber from rural New Brunswick, must drive his beat-up work truck 1,000 miles to Toronto to get his estranged, gay brother out of jail after being arrested for having sex in a public park. The two men are then forced to drive back home together at the behest of their hard-nosed mother before they kill each other.

The film is inspired by the true story of director Michael Clowater's grandfather and great uncle. Born in Nashwaaksis, Michael Clowater is an award-winning writer, director and producer of films and commercials. He is now based in Toronto.
