Summaries

When Keith and Natasha's relationship goes rotten, Natasha runs away to Halifax. Keith makes it his mission to track her down, only to learn things about himself that he never realized before.

A troubled guy with a poetic soul, Keith Kavanagh, meets an equally troubled girl named Natasha. The two fall in love and move into an apartment together in St. John's. Their relationship implodes due to booze and drugs and Natasha leaves for the mainland (Halifax, Nova Scotia) to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Keith, who has never been off the rock, goes on a dark journey to find her, and also ends up finding himself in the process.—Anonymous

Keith Kavanagh blames much of his problems - his life filled with problems more than they are not - on inherently a part of being born, raised and still stuck in "The Cove" in Newfoundland. In the law blaming Keith for anything criminally wrong that happens in The Cove - that blame which is often more than justified - his parents no longer want anything to do with him. On welfare, he spends whatever money he has on alcohol and drugs. He eventually wants to earn a living as a poet, but he does nothing with his stream-of-consciousness writings, which in his mind are never quite ready, without even knowing if anyone would publish them regardless. He believes his life has the potential to change when he meets Natasha Healy, with who he falls in love. With self-esteem issues, Natasha has a history of being attracted to the wrong types of men that will only drag her down. Again as he has always felt The Cove is the problem, they decide to start their life together in St. John's, which will demonstrate either if this change of scenery or the support they should be providing the other are enough to jump-start them into a more productive life.—Huggo
