Faking Salvation

Faking Salvation

The salmon runs are drying up. The small town of Quissquitawna (population: 6) is dying. Paul, a fishing guide, is at war with the mayor, sheriff, game warden, and head of the Lions Club, all of whom happen to be his sister Gina, over how to bring back clients and fish to this small Canadian fishing village...and neither one is winning.

That is, until his estranged daughter Jill shows up, and in a disastrous combination of alcohol and autocorrect, tweets about a miracle that was performed at the fishing village...and not just any miracle: a sighting of the Virgin Mary followed by a healing. And before anyone can say, ”I drunk texted what,” a dying woman and an inspector from the Vatican arrive, both expecting to witness a miracle. With the help of Edna (the local bear hunter and arms enthusiast), they stumble through a half-baked scheme…and that’s when most miracles take place—somewhere between truth and desperation.
