Shadow Trap

• Watchlist

Northern British Columbia, 1908: Gitxsan indigenous businessman turned outlaw Simon Gunanoot - labeled a "terrible savage" for allegedly killing two men - is in hiding during a brutally cold winter. Meanwhile, in Hazelton, grubstaker Seamus Campbell and his shotgun-toting thug come to the Two Mile Saloon to collect a debt from failed prospector Danny Kelly. In desperation, Kelly impulsively decides to venture deep into the frozen wilds of the Skeena Mountains in pursuit of Gunanoot and the $1,000 bounty for his capture. Kelly soon realizes he's in over his head - the hunter becomes the hunted. In the ensuing dogsled chase, Simon's curious actions leave viewers wondering who he was, and just how far Canadian society has evolved since his time.
