Boom Road

The year is 1982.



Jackie O'Connor is true to his word and expects one thing from others: to be true to theirs. Growing up in rural New Brunswick on the banks of the mystical Miramichi River, leading a straightforward life and working at the sawmill, Jackie doesn't demand much else from anyone.



But everything takes an unforeseen turn when he inherits a large sum of money. The world around him spins upside down - the dead come back to haunt him, and others seek to deceive him.



Navigating this new reality with his dog Ruby at his side, beset by urgent requests and shadowy friendships, Jackie paddles his canoe through spiraling circumstances and an ever-changing world, attempting to keep both his vessel afloat and his moral compass straight.



Boom Road is a wild ride, a page-turning mix of hilarity, tenderness, and violence.
