A, feature-length, psycho-thriller screenplay (inundated with, surreal, macabre, retrospective, sequential dreams), wherein undeterred psychopathic homicides prevail within a, lowbrow, small-town setting.

SYNOPSIS:

What could Alfred Hitchcock's, 1943 psycho-thriller, "SHADOW OF A DOUBT", possibly have in common with a with a, sleepy-eyed, Canadian, 'Prairie' town (where life is typically so predictable and slow-paced), that the police often sit bored in the local coffee shop/bus depot, secretly wishing for something unusual or intriguing to happen?

Ask octogenarian, Clara Jones, who lies, alone, in a locked room, mere blocks away, strapped-down to a strange bed, in an Assisted-Living Facility, her mind fraught with fear.

Ask, William Big Bear, a, young, husky, revengeful, First Nations man, who has been haunted by the heinous murder of his beautiful teenage sister, ten years before, and by the ghosts of his dead grandmother and sister, who both hauntingly cry-out for justice.

Ask, Charlie Jorganson, a displaced vagrant man, also attempting to escape from a nightmarish past, who unwittingly destroys the delicate balance of the way 'normal' things are in the town of Fort Macleod, Alberta.

A light web of intrigue is interwoven into the graphic unconventional storyline of the feature-length screenplay, which is fraught with symbolic meaning, and combines familiar landmarks, local vernacular, puckish humour, and the, humdrum, predictable ennui of everyday small-town living, with macabre and intense overlapping dreams, whose central characters' uniquely disturbing lives, converge on a suspense-filled outcome that destroys the superficial façade of class distinction, and, wherein the psychotic profiteering Manageress of an Assisted-Living Facility and her malicious accomplice, the local Funeral-Home Director, must ultimately make life-altering decisions, that, at once, destroy the misconception surrounding what is ethical, and reveals the surprising places One sometimes encounters kindness and right action, while evoking One's innate sense of injustice, destiny, transformation and redemption.
