A small plane was blown up in an act of sabotage several years ago over Northern Quebec, Canada. The incident was quickly analyzed and termed a mechanical failure. The case was closed in a rush.

A young actor from Montreal dies in Afghanistan. Killed by a missile from a drone. His death opens up wounds and discussions that are not in the public domain. These two seemingly disparate events form the backbone of a compelling contemporary “ideas thriller,” set in Montreal’s Main district and in the blue-green mountains of Kandahar.

Past values, local history, neighborhood myths and intense psychosexual vectors are suddenly on a collision course with the current international context of wars, migration, exile and terror. A soupy, foggy atmosphere hangs low over the district. In the backdrop is the cold case of the airplane sabotage that occurred over a decade ago. Was the plane crash hushed-up? Why? Three friends from Montreal’s Plateau and Mile End districts manage to de-freeze the cold case, burn up the fog and hell breaks loose, not only in their personal lives, but in their own affiliations. What does it take to clear the fog of complex emotions, the unresolved local conflicts and the intricate remembrances of various communities in a fabled neighborhood?
