The heavy, humid air of a Nova Scotia summer presses down on Sunnyvale Trailer Park. Behind Bubbles' weathered shed, the trio huddles in a tight, anxious circle under the unblinking eye of the documentary camera. Ricky paces a frantic line, a cigarette trembling between his lips as his panic visibly rises. I take a slow, deliberate sip from my glass of rum and Coke, the ice clinking softly, forcing a calm I don't entirely feel into my posture. The police are due for their routine checkup any minute now, and the clock is ticking down loudly in the silence.
