- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1922: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Tom's father, Barry, lives at a lonely trading post up north and is constantly in fear the post's factor, who has threatened to turn him in to the Mounted Police for a murder committed many years before.
