2022: There’s some big things happening in small-town Canada
When two teens, Dallan and Hannah, attend the opening night of the infamous Sunsetter rodeo, they find themselves entangled in the suspicious deaths of their two closest loved ones. Driven by loss, rage, and their gut instincts for justice, they channel their grief and confusion into uncovering the criminal truth about their small town of Perron, a prairie community that has been long deserted by industry, leaving a ghostly emptiness of abandoned gravel pits, golf courses, and storefronts. They soon discover that Perron — with its population of bored and discontented youth, as well as police officers who are only looking out for themselves — is the ideal place for a mysterious and omnipresent drug trade to flourish. Soon enough, Dallan and Hannah are being tailed by Deputy Arnason, who has been tasked with protecting the reputation of the local police, even as his conscience screams in protest with every move he makes.
Rodeos in Canada
The setting here are the famous rodeos that take place across the prairie provinces.
The sunsetter rodeo in the novel is fictional and is rather infamous given what it brungs to the community, what it represents and what happens there.
The police don’t even police themselves so imagine what the youngsters get up to in this place.
The settings within a small town Canada are the opioid crisis, the teenager experience, wayward teens and police corruption amongst other things.
