Frozen Frights

Faced with the end of his marriage, his business and his father's life, a tavern owner from the far, far North decides to test a theory about ending it all in the extreme cold of a Minnesota winter.

After suffering a stroke, an old codger suddenly sees things differently, as if the very meaning of life has been revealed to him. Now if only someone else would listen.

A short drama about life in a small Northern Town, the promises you make to survive, and what they really mean.

Evil JJ with his army of Abbys have taken over. Everyone is either trapped in another dimension or locked up in the town jail. And into this, Diana and Nedly innocently drive trying to get the rest of the story. How will any of this ever work out?!?
