In a town, a school bus sinks in a river, causing the death of many children. A lawyer gets to the place and with his attitude stirs up the hatred by persuading the parents to demand for a compensation from the government for the accident. With traces of the cinema by David Cronenberg and David Lynch, Egoyan’s first adaptation of a novel revolves around a man who takes advantage of the collective trauma of an American city to ease his inner demons.
