The arrival of a dirty cop from Crane’s past sets into motion a series of dark events that tests their relationship and changes their lives forever. North Mountain is a Two-Spirit thriller that is centred around an inter-generational romance between two Mi’kmaq men who are connected in an unconventional way, and bound by fate to face death.
