More Description Us Against You is the heart-wrenching story of the loyalty, friendship, and love that carried a small community through its darkest days.
A community is only as great as the sum of its choices, and when tragedy visited Beartown, the town lost its way.
Beartown's hockey club is on the cusp of being terminated and it falls to general manager Peter, to try to save the beloved team.
As Peter and his wife Mira find themselves drifting apart, a local politician known for expediency rather than convictions offers him a lifeline- the new owners of the factory will step in as sponsor - if Peter can guarantee that 'The Group' is ousted from the club. 'The Group' is a gang of men known both as shady businessmen and protectors. Not to mention die-hard hockey supporters. To go against 'The Group' would be suicide . . .
