Description
Hartley Addison is probably the nicest guy in Port D?Espere, Ontario. Everybody loves him, even when they disagree with him. Hes never officially run for mayor of his small lakeside town but he keeps getting elected anyway. The town has been a major environmental dumpsite for decades and most of his constituents prefer to look the other way and accept the government line: There is no problem. King of Hope brings Southern Ontario Gothic with an environmental twist, through the lens of a small town thats been facing radical environmental uncertainty for generations.
