Plot summary
Donner and the men he shares a house with are broke. Their welfare payments stop, they put what money they have left toward the cover charge at a party, and an eviction notice follows. Donner proposes a trip to a cabin in the Canadian wilderness that he says belongs to his uncle, and the group sets off in a van. His interest is not in the cabin. He wants to find Sasquatch, and that is not what the others agreed to come for. When the van breaks down, the men are stranded in the woods with no food, no water and no bearings, and the argument over what they are doing there grows louder.
