Story

Hopeless men... Against hopeless odds...

Three stupid cowboys are lost in the woods without any food on the coldest night of the year. Will they succumb to the cold, cannibalism, or the Christmas Spirit? Canada's infamous Astron-6 return to short form to challenge the very idea of storytelling. Grotesque. Absurd. Buñuel by way of Zuckers and Abrahams.
