Resisters

January 1998. Record levels of freezing rain blanket eastern Ontario in a smothering sheet of ice.After days without power, cities and townships declare a state of emergency. Most folks find refuge in shelters, but some resist the call to leave-like 42-year-old Jeremy Skitter, whose countryside home is his only defence against an unfavourable world. But as his obsessive thoughts escalate, Skit finds himself less prepared than he thought, and up against something far more paralyzing than Mother Nature.A wintery version of Psycho meets The Fog, Resisters explores who we become when what haunts us won't loosen its grip.
