درباره این فیلم

1964. Martin Bishop is eighteen. His recently deceased father left him well-educated and with high moral principles, but the bank has seized the family farm. Martin lands a job as a timekeeper on a Northwest Territories construction site. Under the watchful eye of a tyrannical foreman, the workmen are building a section of railway. Fifty-two miles in fifty-two days: a lucrative and corrupt endeavour--for some. For the workers, a bunch of outcasts and criminals selected precisely for their defects, there are no rewards. Isolated in this remote camp, with no way of escape, the men dare not complain. But Martin is upstanding, and won't buy into this. What ill fate do the bosses have in store for this lamb among wolves? And what will become of Martin's lofty principles when threatened with reprisal? - 2008. 9175-5018 Quebec Inc. & Perfect Circle Productions Ltd.
