Description

Jamie and his fiancee Bev are doing just fine in their basement apartment in Chapel Arm, Newfoundland. Bev works as a beautician, Jamie has a job as a dick-picker at the local fish plant and the young couple are expecting a baby.
But when Jamie's childhood sweetheart, Dodi, returns unexpectedly from the mainland, their small-town world is rocked. Complicating matters is Dodi's alcoholic uncle Art, who has just torched the house he's been living in and everyone in town knows he did it.
The characters navigate their way through a minefield of love, obsession, sex, loyalty, and betrayal as they seek to reconcile the past with their present reality. The raw emotion of Chapel Arm is balanced with a full measure of Newfoundland humour, and a powerful sense of language.
