Intersection

By Dave Semple

A chance for a clean slate, to start over again, to leave the past behind and start anew: it's not possible. Or is it? Intersection (noun): a point at which two or more things intersect. Clarence is a man with a mysterious past who has found himself in a cottage community on the coast of British Columbia. His attempt to leave his old life behind and start a new one is tempered through the unexpected friendships that he forms within his new town. The revelation of his new friends' hidden truths forces him to deal with his own dark history before he can move on. Owen is a socially awkward computer programmer and web designer in Ottawa who prefers the digital world to the superficial world of consumerism around him. In a chance encounter at a library, Owen meets a woman who grows to love him for who he is and helps him out of his shell. His love story comes crashing down all too soon and in an attempt to heal he decides to start over by moving across the country to British Columbia. Shawn is living an urban prairie life of mediocrity. His job barely pays the bills. His marriage has become loveless and abusive and his sense of self has eroded to the point that he is depressed and isolated. Shawn's circumstances lead him to consider a desperate option. However, there is one last possibility, one that takes him west. Three Branches is a small cottage community on the west coast of British Columbia. It is a place to leave the past behind and start over with a clean slate. It is here that these three lives converge and in a surprising twist of events, this is the point of intersection.
