Where The Sun Don’t Shine

Rural Ontario, 1906. A missing inheritance. Two missing salesmen. Train wrecks. Fraud. Miserly farmers. Crime, murder and incest. Suicide. Fog. Arson, brawls, blizzards, tramps, alcoholism and insanity. And love. It’s all in the cards for latimer Davenport, an inept son of the Toronto establishment, sent out to do farm labour and learn about life the hard way. A gothic black comedy in dramatic form.
