Summary

Peter, a sensitive and shy teen, dreams of leaving his small northern Ontario town to pursue life as an artist; but his homophobic father intends to "make him a man" instead. Forcing Pete on a hunting trip one cold winter break, tensions between them run high and Pete runs away. Lost, cold, and reaching his breaking point, Peter meets Jack, who's also desperate to escape his toxic family situation. A romance quickly develops between the two teenagers as they hideaway in a secluded cabin, discovering each other and themselves. But the world outside eventually pulls them back, and they're forced to face the circumstances they tried to flee, which will ultimately tear them apart. A 2000s "Romeo and Juliet" type romance where love does not win, but the surviving players grow to accept themselves as members of the LGBTQ+ community
