Montreal, 2009. Former archaeologist Victor Demaisonneuve returns home to work at his beloved neighborhood movie store and decides to chronicle his experiences in a blog. His world is shaken to its core when a dusty old journal, written by a former employee, surfaces from among the derelict tapes in the backroom. Vic soon comes to view his predecessor as a kindred spirit and embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his disappearance, a quest which leads him to a strange Voodoo cult that claims to hold the secrets behind movies.

Sam and Sean are a pair of longtime friends from Montreal, inspired to write their debut novel while working at a couple of video stores in their hometown for nearly a decade. They encountered people from all walks of life, including politicians, professional athletes, musicians, top one-percenters and even an astronaut.
Sean Kropveld is a lifelong devotee of cinema. He currently lives in the Plateau area of Montreal with his wife Amy, a short walk away from his local video store where he fuels his obsession with pre-code era Hollywood movies.
Sam Krymalowski is a professional teacher who spends his days walking around Montreal and complaining about the selection on Netflix.
