In “Dark Heart”, we shift backwards in time to explore the backstories of the minor characters from “Deceitful Above All Things”, as they attempt to solve a supernatural mystery in this taut historical thriller. A young French bride disappears into the forest. Has she run off to be with her lover, or is there something more sinister in the woods? While rumours of a supernatural creature spread through the settlement, everyone seems to be hunting for the missing woman, including an Indigenous fur trapper, the local doctor, a newly-arrived French soldier & her jealous husband. But perhaps one of them is the beast that they fear.
"Dark Heart" was recorded on the traditional lands of the Anishinabe, the Attawandaron, the Chippawa, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat Confederacy. The story takes place on the traditional lands of the Kanien'kehaka, and the cast includes artists from many different backgrounds, including Métis and settler.
