Some HellishSome Hellish

Herring is a hapless lobster fisher lost in an unexceptional life, bored of thinking the same old thoughts. One December day, following a hunch, he cuts a hole in the living room floor and installs a hoist, altering the course of everything in his life. He buries the family dog in a frozen grave on Christmas Eve. His wife Euna leaves with their children. He and his friend Gerry crash his truck into a field, only to be rescued by a passing group of Tibetan monks. During the Spring lobster season, Herring and Gerry find themselves caught in a storm front. Herring falls overboard miles from the harbour, is lost at sea for days, and assumed to be drowned. And then, he is found, miraculously, alive. Having come so near to death, he is forced to confront the things he fears the most: love, friendship, belief, and himself.
