Description
Sheila is fresh out of university and a broken engagement. Rudy is fascinated with storms and the unknown world of ice beyond the frozen harbour. Carl dreams of defending his dissertation against an assembly of hunters, while all the while his wife, Marian, is slipping away from him. Dave doesn't like women much, but he likes sleeping with them. Alice has invented a tradition of women-only parties to escape the tyranny of Hockey Night in Canada. These are some of the outsiders who have come to work in a small northern town.
