Icemen

A wealthy businessman is kidnapped and held captive in a utility shed by his own employees—brothers Joe and Rennie, ice harvesters on Kempenfelt Bay. During the Great Depression, their ice harvesting livelihood is disappearing due to refrigeration technology, while their employer grows wealthier. Desperate to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs, the brothers attempt to force a reckoning with their greedy boss.
