2000s: Cataract city – a town blinded or one choosing not to see?
Cataract City
What you need to know before your trail
Cataract City – a dead-end border town overlooking Niagara Falls.
Owen Stuckey and Duncan Diggs are from different sides of the track but are bound together by youth and friendship.
United by wrestling, go-karts, and metal bands but torn apart by circumstances and poverty
Owen seems destined to get out of the city, while Duncan works the assembly line at the soulless biscuit factory, The Bisk.
The coils of the city creep ever tighter around the two friends and before long, they find themselves struggling not to break free, but simply to survive.
Travel Guide
