Boston-based filmmaker Alex Karpovsky is a former karaoke video editor who travels to Brainerd, Minnesota to document a strange natural phenomenon for a new cable television series. His pursuit of a “black hole” which emerges on the frozen lake in the dead of winter leads him on a taxing journey in which he invests all of his financial and emotional resources into the project at the sake of his own sanity. Using interviews with the amiable residents of Brainerd, Karpovsky crafts an intriguing puzzle of a film in which questions of reality become secondary to deeper existential pursuits.
