Plot Synopsis

A missing person needs to remain that way for seven years before legally being declared dead in absentia. Today, Tricia’s long-vanished husband qualifies for this terrible honour. Even while filling out the final paperwork, she keeps missing-person posters for her husband, clinging to whatever hope she can. Her younger sister Callie, a recovering junkie, moves in with her for moral support. They struggle to avoid discussing the elephant in the room. Their town has a higher-than-average number of missing persons. Much higher than average. Search posters for the hastily departed adorn trees and posts like pockmarks and everyone seems to know someone who knows someone who vanished into thin air without warning or return.

Upcoming Screenings:

August 7th, 2011 / 9:30 pm / J.A. De Seve Theater / Montreal, Canada
