As the Vietnam War drives young men north across the Canadian border, widower Jack’s quiet life is overturned by two accidents that happen on the bend in the road into town. First comes a dog in a bad way. Next a draft dodger, seriously injured, lying in the snow. Suddenly, Jack’s cabin is busy with a growing cast of characters—and all the baggage, dreams and desires they’re carrying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe atmosphere chills when Jack’s daughter Sally drops by one day and doesn’t like what she sees.
