Sometimes things go straight to hell.
Set in a present day former coal town on Canada’s west coast 6-6-o witnesses the rough lives and deaths of men and women cursed not only by their choices but by their proximity to a simple streetlight.
It begins simply enough with the story of Davey and Bert in the 1950’s. Two men set with the unfortunate task of installing power poles in the quickly developing farmland known locally as Seven Acres.
Decades later we find a street light with an unfortunate mark spraying candescence over a tired neighbourhood missing sidewalks with broken roads and broken homes littered with the crime that has become Harewood. Davey and Bert never knew what they had drilled.
A very dark, gritty and rough ride.
