Short Cuts meets Rear Window in this hilarious but poignant debut from James Cadelli. Three travelling dudes are stranded in Hope, a small, desolate town in the mountains of British Columbia. They find shelter in the basement of an apartment after their RV breaks down. Although they, and three others, occupy the same building, share a common resentment of their living situation, and annoy each other in the hallways, none of them realise the extent to which their lives are intertwined. Yet they all hope for a better life. And that just might mean getting out of town...by any means necessary.
