The film centres around two social outcasts, childhood friends who are reunited as adults in their home town. Believing they have killed a security guard, the two old friends find themselves on the run. Clive the main character has Down Syndrome, and his best friend and true love Barbie is an angry social outcast who tried to make it in the big city but has been forced to return to her small town. The story examines the social implications of love and friendship that is perceived as socially taboo.
Mayerthorpe, Alberta was chosen for its small rural town feel and imagery, with familiar traditions and images like the small town parade, old-fashioned main street, and local independent businesses. Highlighted businesses will include Thyme for Health N’ Herbs, Hub Hotel, and Star Kitchen.
