Synopsis
In 1989, children are disappearing from Northing, a decaying mining town. Brothers Milo and Woe, gifted with strange psychic abilities, must confront the malevolent force threatening their once idyllic neighbourhood of Kinder Hill. Meanwhile, in 2019, Miller Hackney—a failed writer and failing member of the human race—abandons his final novel to chase a faceless child in a green raincoat through the underbelly of Toronto. These two stories, seemingly worlds and decades apart, are drawn inexorably to a collision at the bottom of all labyrinths. One part Goonies adventure and the other Hitchcock thriller, One Soft Infested Summer is an epic story about found families, the horror of loss, and the redemptive magic of storytelling. |
