€3,51
  • It’s
  • July
  • 1975
  • and
  • Dave
  • Rogers
  • has
  • just
  • landed
  • his
  • first
  • reporting
  • job
  • at
  • the
  • Granby
  • Leader
  • Mail.
  • Having
  • grown
  • up
  • in
  • Montreal,
  • it’s
  • not
  • a
  • part
  • of
  • Quebec’s
  • Eastern
  • Townships
  • he
  • knows
  • very
  • well,
  • despite
  • having
  • been
  • born
  • there.
  • Amidst
  • the
  • stories
  • of
  • little
  • old
  • ladies
  • turning
  • 100,
  • petty
  • thefts
  • and
  • small
  • town
  • politics,
  • Dave
  • soon
  • finds
  • himself
  • covering
  • real
  • news.
  • But
  • before
  • long
  • he’s
  • raised
  • the
  • ire
  • of
  • the
  • local
  • crime
  • boss,
  • the
  • mother
  • of
  • a
  • cattle
  • thief,
  • and
  • an
  • English
  • rights
  • vigilante
  • group.
  • Not
  • to
  • mention
  • the
  • mysterious
  • characters
  • who
  • seem
  • to
  • be
  • watching
  • his
  • every
  • move,
  • or
  • the
  • father
  • he
  • barely
  • remembers
  • who
  • haunts
  • his
  • dreams.
  • There
  • are
  • longstanding
  • scores
  • to
  • be
  • settled,
  • but
  • extracting
  • truth
  • from
  • the
  • lies
  • pushes
  • Dave
  • to
  • the
  • limits
  • of
  • what
  • he
  • can,
  • and
  • can’t,
  • live with.
