Storyline

Set in the last days of a dying logging town, Christian (Schneider) returns to his family home for his father Henry's (Rush) wedding. Reconnecting with his childhood friend Oliver (Leslie) and Oliver's family, wife Charlotte (Otto) and daughter Hedvig (Young), he unearths a long-buried secret. As he tries to right the wrongs of the past, his actions threaten to shatter the lives of those he left behind years before. After many years of absence, Christian, the estranged and troubled son of Henry, the owner of a logging company in demise, returns to his hometown to attend the wedding of his father. However, even though everything appears to be untouched by time, Oliver, Christian's best friend since childhood, seems to be unable to make him feel like home, and pick up where they left off. And, before long, the day of the joyous event arrives. But, as well-kept secrets finally come to light, Christian's volatile temperament will be the ultimate catalyst to everyone's lives; one that forces a painful and life-altering epilogue. — Nick Riganas
