Full Plot Details

After his father's death, innocent Martin Bishop is left with nothing financially. He is however left with his father's belief that "if a man loses everything but still chooses to do what's right, then he's lost nothing at all", a belief to which Martin clings. He decides to head north to take a job on one of the Great Slave Lake Railroad's remote construction crews, working as its timekeeper, the person who keeps the records of hours worked for payroll. Martin quickly learns of the rampant corruption at his camp, led by the sadistic foreman, Fisk, who orders Martin to inflate his hours worked, and keep on the payroll those men who he has banished from the camp in order to pocket their wages. Those banished men are left to fend for themselves since they are provided no means of transportation out and have no money. They survive living off the scraps of food from the camp's dump, which is why they're referred to as the "garbage eaters". After Martin thinks that Fisk has killed one of the garbage eaters, Martin decides to do what he believes is right by going against Fisk and mobilizing the disparate group of garbage eaters, all at the risk of his personal safety. What may be working on Martin's side are the facts that he has been able to tame Fisk's security and attack dog, King, and that the camp's cook, Prudhomme, who has his own demons, dislikes the sight of human blood.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Hugo SGreat Canadian film that looks at the rough and tough of those who worked the railways in the 60's. A young man leaves his hometown after his father dies to work on the railways in the Northwest Territories where a hard as nails boss works to get a 52 mile railways finished in 52 days. After Bishop (Craig Olejnik) angers his boss, he sends him out to live with the other outcast workers in the forests of the N.W.T. Definitely an interesting insight into what being in the middle of nowhere can do to ones mindset, as well as the control needed to survive such a landscape. Although usually not something i would watch, i think it was the initial story that interested me, this movie was based on the book of the same title, so if you are interested in seeing the movie but are unsure, you can check out the novel beforehand.
User Review - 8/10 by Brian WFantastic Canadian film telling the story of a young book keeper who travels to far North to be a timekeeper for a crew of men who are building a rail line to the Great Slave Lake mines. Excellent story, characters and the scenery is amazing
User Review - 6/10 by Jimmy CLa réalisation de Bélanger est soignée, tout comme sa direction photo et sa trame sonore, malheureusement, le non-intérêt de son histoire, tout autant que ses personnages, peines à nous embarqué véritablement dans cette mini-épopée semi-bûcheronnes aux airs de fable bizarroïde.
User Review - 4/10 by Buggy BStruggled through this bit of Canadiana and truthfully got more from reading the synopsis afterwards than the movie itself. I think the biggest problem here is that nothing is explained; when is this taking place? Where is this remote location? What exactly is a timekeeper? What railroad are they building? All these things would have helped me get into this movie, as it was my favorite scene involved the men 'dump' diving with bears and the Johnny Cash song played (Long Time) -not a good sign. And what the hell was Roy Dupuis doing here, his character (and fake beard) were a mess. 02.28.14 "Set in 1964, this indie drama follows Martin Bishop (Craig Olejnik), a highly moral young man, as he attempts to work alongside a railway construction crew in the Northwest Territories. Far removed from civilization and supervised by an abusive foreman, the worksite is a hotbed of corruption that tests Martin's ethical and spiritual fortitude."
