Drive Back Home

In the winter of 1970, a cantankerous, small town plumber (Charlie Creed-Miles) from rural New Brunswick must drive his beat-up work truck 1,000 miles to Toronto to get his estranged, gay brother (Alan Cumming) out of jail after being arrested for having sex in a public park.

The two men are then forced to drive back home together at the behest of their hard-nosed mother before they kill each other.

Inspired by a true story.
