Set against the backdrop of Manitoba's 1998 Conservative government, this narrative reveals a scandal involving the financing of an independent Aboriginal candidate to siphon votes from the New Democratic Party. Blending elements of detective work with comedy and tragedy, the tale unfolds in the quirky Interlake region, featuring a cast of eccentric characters. This engaging account not only chronicles the political deception but also reflects on the broader themes of power and wealth distribution in society, ultimately leading to the government's downfall.
