They went north to find meaning. They found
violence
instead.

Inspired by the real 2019 Northern British Columbia manhunt when two teenage boys from Vancouver Island murdered three strangers and fled north through ghost towns and endless forest. Their flight, live-tracked across social media and news feeds, unfolded like a fever dream of the digital age: an openworld simulation of fear and fascination. Weeks later, their bodies were found by a river, the chase ending as abruptly as it began.
