Synopsis
After a messy divorce, David's high school friend Steve convinces him to move to Fort McMurray. Armed with a 2 year plan and a U-Haul with all his possessions he sets out to turn his life around in the booming oil industry only to find the promised land isn't as easy as he thought. Housing, shopping and dating all have challenges strangely unique to the area that David was not prepared for.
