Thunderbird

This hard-hitting BC-based crime thriller with a supernatural twist is about confronting one’s demons, and choosing what path to follow in life as a result. Reclusive young fisherman William Brook searches for his missing sister in the rugged Pacific Northwest. After giving false testimony in his parents’ murder trial ten years earlier and sending an innocent local Chief to jail, Brook is far from welcome in the town. His path collides with Detective Ivy Seymour’s investigation into the deaths of over 30 local women. When the body of William’s sister Sarah’s roommate is discovered in a gruesome state in the forest, fears that a serial killer may be working the area begin to take hold. After the detective saves William from a brutal beating, the two join forces to track Sarah down before it is too late. As the likelihood of finding his sister alive diminishes, William must confront his past and make amends with the First Nations people whose Chief he betrayed in order to find his own inner peace.
