In the winter of 1970, a cantankerous, small-town plumber from rural New Brunswick (Charlie Creed-Miles) must drive his beat-up work truck 1,000 miles to Toronto to get his estranged, gay brother (Alan Cumming) out of jail
after his arrest for being with a man in the park. The two men are then forced to drive back home together at the behest of their hard-nosed mother (Clare Coulter). Inspired by a true story.

Winner of the Audience Award for Canadian feature at the Calgary International Film Festival

Being true to oneself, no matter the cost, the effect we have on others, suffering and redemption, death and mercy make a strong brew, kind of a bumpkin Gothic realist film about the human condition. Anne Brodie, What She Said
