Thirty-year-old Keith Kavanagh (Joel Thomas Hynes) ekes his way through life in a small town. A hard-drinking hooligan, he keeps his ragged collection of poetry a closely guarded secret... as secret as his regret for the shattered relationship with his father. When Keith meets the darkly exotic Natasha (Mylène Savoie), his life is changed forever.

Canadiana. About a drunk Newfoundlander poet who is spiralling downwards and takes everyone in his life down with him. Sad and funny at the same time. Joel Thomas Hynes’ Newfoundlander accent shines on as usual, which is quite charming.
