DETAILS

In the bleak landscape of Depression era Alberta, war veteran Fergus Muir finds solace in routine until a chance encounter with Cat Perkins, a troubled girl resembling his late wife. 

 

As Cat’s world unravels, Fergus delves into the shadows of their small town, uncovering a web of vagrancy, violence, and hypocrisy. 

 

When a seemingly senseless murder shakes all those who Fergus loves, he must confront his haunting past.
