NOVA SCOTIA RESIDENTS ONLY OR CAN WORK AS LOCAL
Storyline
Josh MacAulay and his wife Rachel have just moved into a country home with their young son, Max. Their idyll is disrupted by a fatal car accident on the sharp corner by their house. Rachel would rather forget the event, but Josh is drawn to the tragedy. Another accident convinces Josh that he’s the real First Responder and he secretly trains for the next accident—if and when it comes.
