Synopsis

It is said that fisherman who were shipwreck and washed ashore were lured into the woods by supernatural fires and then driven mad and turned feral. These were Pookmis. In the short, instead of being lost at sea, the protagonist, Freddie, is 'lost' in the city, lured by supernatural neon city lights, and driven mad by the cultural isolation and various poisons of today (drugs and alcohol). Freddie's younger sister becomes worried after she does not hear from her older brother in months. She decides to take a trip from her small island town over to the big city of Vancouver. After searching where she thought her brother once lived and turning up nothing, she decides to investigate her brother's disappearance further.
