The Long Stretch

Set in Cape Breton, 'The Long Stretch' follows the story of John Gillis and his cousin Sextus, who returns home after a long absence. Sextus has a lot to answer for after leaving town with John's wife and writing a bestselling novel based on the private lives of Gillis family members. During a wild night of drinking, the roots of the men's painful and complex relationship are exposed. The men probe each other's memories, telling stories that unravel a host of secrets--and explain the events of a fateful day that John Gillis has spent twenty years trying to forget.
