SYNOPSIS: Miles, a young stage actor from Toronto, comes to Huron County and arrives at the home of Angus and Morgan, two aging, unmarried farmers. Miles stays with them in order to collect stories about rural life and write a play about it. All three of their lives are irrevocably altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction is crossed.
