This is a portrait of moody small city life on the shores of the Saint John River in New Brunswick. This is a diary of hope, sadness, love, and sex. This is an honouring of the emotional and spiritual presence which this river carves for itself in people's lives. This is constant movement in a topography of human ineffectualness and darkness. This is a longing for change, a longing for recognition, a longing for difference and originality which is as elusive as happiness. This is a song of life, remission, and redemption in the night.
