In this dark comedy western, three outlaw sisters’ plans to flee to Dawson City go awry when one of them catches a case of the ‘strange rabies’.
Set in the fever pitched days of the gold rush in British Columbia (1897) and inspired by such films as the Revenant, Oh Brother Where Art Thou and True Grit, we explore the crossroads where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Emotional, cinematic, quirky and rooted in character, Murphy’s Law is a marriage of human drama and the supernatural wrapped up in a blanket of absurd comedy.
