A lonely warehouse in the middle of nowhere, Saskatchewan. A young man arrives seeking help. His estranged uncle might be his saving grace, or a sociopath. This one-act Canadian drama is a gripping, and sometimes hilarious, exploration of urban vs. rural manhood, family and responsibility. Most of all, it is about being a Canadian.
