A Mistake

In the midst of a new scheme to publicly report surgeons’ performance, a gifted surgeon’s life is thrown into disarray as her colleagues begin to close ranks, and even her partner, a nurse at the hospital, turns her back on her.

Hair of the Bear

Refusing to go to school, anxious 16-year-old Tori is driven by her mother to her grandfather's rustic cabin in Eastern Manitoba on the remote American-Canadian border. As Tori struggles to adapt to the woodsman ways of her French Canadian grandfather, she ultimately must embrace the outdoors if she is to survive the deadly game of cat and mouse she is thrust into.
